Human Blood Plasma Proteins

Human Blood Plasma Proteins gives an overview of theproteins found in human blood plasma, with special emphasis ontheir structure and function and relationship to pathologicalstates and disease. Topics covered include: * introduction to blood components and blood plasma proteins * blood plasma protein domains, motifs and repeats * blood plasma protein families and posttranslationalmodifications * blood coagulation and fibrinolysis * the complement system * the immune system * enzymes * inhibitors * lipoproteins * hormones * cytokines and growth factors * transport and storage The information of each protein discussed in this book in somedetail is summarised at the end of each chapter in a DataSheet, where one can find the most important data of eachprotein at one glance. Full cross-referencing to protein databasesis given and many of the proteins discussed are accompanied bytheir 3D structure. Attractively presented in full colour, Human Blood PlasmaProteins is an essential atlas of this proteome for anyoneworking in biochemistry, protein chemistry and proteomics,structural biology, and medicine....
