The calcitonin gene-related peptide family form, function and future perspectives

The calcitonin gene-related peptide family form, function and future perspectives / edited by Deborah L. Hay, Ian M. Dickerson.

This book contains a comprehensive series of reviews on the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) family of peptides. This family of peptide hormones has a diverse and constantly expanding range of important physiologic functions, including regulation of blood calcium, vascular tension, feeding beh...
