Cell Biology and Membrane Transport Processes

Cell Biology and Membrane Transport Processes, Volume 41

Cell Biology and Membrane Transport Processes brings together research from cell biology, physiology, and molecular biology to explore how cells regulate membrane transport proteins and how these proteins contribute to essential cellular functions. This volume examines the structure, function, and cellular regulation of important transport systems, including multidrug resistance proteins (MDR), the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the yeast protein STE6, and the sodium pump. It is a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students studying membrane biology, cellular transport, protein function, and intracellular sorting.
