{"product_id":"9780792376125","title":"Endocrine Updates: New Concepts in Gene Regulation","description":"\u003ch1\u003eEndocrine Updates: New Concepts in Gene Regulation\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSandberg, Kathryn; Mulroney, Susan E.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eRNA binding proteins are an exciting area of research in gene  regulation. A multitude of RNA-protein interactions are used to  regulate gene expression including pre-mRNA splicing, polyadenylation,  editing, transport, cytoplasmic targeting, translation and mRNA  turnover. In addition to these post-transcriptional processes,  RNA-protein interactions play a key role in transcription as  illustrated by the life cycle of retroviruses. Unlike DNA, the  structure of RNA is highly variable and conformationally flexible,  thus creating a number of unique binding sites and the potential for  complex regulation by RNA binding proteins. \u003cbr\u003e  Although there is a wide range of topics included in this volume,  general themes have been repeated, highlighting the overall  integrative nature of RNA binding proteins. The chapters have been  separated into three different sections: Translational Control; mRNA  Metabolism; and Hormonal and Homeostatic Regulation. The chapters of  this volume were written with the seasoned investigator and student in  mind. Summaries of key concepts are reviewed within each chapter as  well as guiding questions that can be used to stimulate class  discussions. The Editors of this volume hope that this compendium  educates, enthralls, and stimulates the readers to look to the future  possibilities in this rapidly evolving field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792376125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-6446-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 308\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265576161420,"sku":"9780792376125","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792376125.jpg?v=1770785195","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792376125","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
