Opis

Presenting a clear picture of the main proteins involved in iron metabolism, this book gives details the structure and function of each protein and discusses the structure and regulation of the corresponding genes in parallel. It delineates the mechanisms controlling cellular iron metabolism and shows how these mechanisms adapt to the differential and peculiar iron need of different cell types. Numerous figures offer an integrated view of iron metabolism at the level of various tissues. The book fills the need for a clearly written, comprehensive review of the latest research, putting every thing readers need in one easy-to-use resource.
