How do you keep track of basic information on the proteins you work with? Where do you find details of their
physicochemical properties, amino acid sequences, gene organization? Are you tired of scanning review articles,
primary papers, and databases to locate that elusive fact?
The Academic Press FactsBook series has established itself as the best source of easily-accessible and accurate
facts about protein groups. Described as "A growing series of excellent manuals" by Molecular Medicine
Today and "Essential works of reference" by Trends in Biochemical Sciences, the FactsBooks have become
the most popular comprehensive data resources. Using an easy-to-follow format, the new second editions will now
keep you up-to-date with the latest advances, and provide you with all the new facts at your fingertips. Meticulously
researched and compiled by experts in the field, keeping abreast of developments has never been so easy!
The Second Edition of The Adhesion Molecule FactsBook has been completely revised, updated, and expanded to reflect
the advances made in the field since publication of the first edition. It contains over 80 entries (nearly twice
the number of the previous edition) on all currently cloned and characterized cell adhesion molecules, including
the families of
integrins
cadherins
selectins
members of the immunoglobulin superfamily
syndecans
and other relevant receptors
