Endoplasmic Reticulum, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1993
Subcellular Biochemistry Series, Vol. 21

In step with the surge of interest in the endoplasmic reticulum, the current volume takes an integrated look at this functionally diverse organelle. Coverage includes protein translocation and export, lipid metabolism, antigen presentation, and many other subjects, gleaned from such diverse fields as cell biology, enzymology and membrane biochemistry, immunology, and signal transduction.
