Lipid Second Messengers provides detailed methodology for analysis of various lipid signaling pathways. Authoritative contributors explain the factors that regulate lipid second messenger production by agonist-activated enzymes and examine their products. Topics discussed include procedures used to measure lipid-derived mediators such as lysophospholipids, arachidonic acid, eicosanoids, anandamide, and ceramides, and the enzymes responsible for generating these messengers, such as phospholipases, prostaglandin endoperoxide synthases, and sphingomyelinase.
Presents an analysis of various lipid signaling pathways. This book presents fresh experimental tools to investigate novel lipid mediators in signal transduction. It examines the role of lipid mediators in signal transduction and cell-to-cell communication.
