Opis

This book constitutes the first comprehensive discussion and collection of facts and functions of unconventional secretory pathways, some of which are of importance in human disease and pathology. The function of ABC transporters in these processes is also discussed. This comparison of common aspects and similarities in all living cells - from bacteria to man - is an excellent reference book with "textbook" character.
