Regulatory Peptides and Cognate Receptors

Regulatory Peptides and Cognate Receptors edited by Dietmar Richter.

In the last two decades, our knowledge on regulatory peptides and their cognate receptors, most of which are members of the seven transmembrane receptor families, has increased enormously. Regulatory peptides are small proteins which, besides their hormonal functions in regulating cellular metabolis...
