Polypeptide hormones play a central role in the regulation of biological processes from the minute-to-minute control of vital functions to the programming of birth, development, reproduction, and ageing. The first of a two-volume work on the methods of study used in this field, Peptide Hormone Secretion focuses on the isolation of polypeptide hormones and their identification and structural analysis, the development of sensitive bioassay and immunoassay techniques, and tissue localization of peptide hormones and their encoding MRNAs, as well as techniques for characterization of peptide hormone receptors. Ideal for graduate students and researchers, the book includes coverage of the general principles and strategies that the methods are based on, so the techniques will have a wide application to biologically active peptides involved in neurotransmission, growth regulations, differentiation, and vasoregulation.Siddle, K. is the author of 'Peptide Hormone Secretion: A Practical Approach' with ISBN 9780199630684 and ISBN 0199630682.
