Lipid Binding Proteins within Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry / Edition 1

by D.A. Bernlohr, L. Banaszak

Overview

The breadth of modern biology is characterized by a comprehension of phenomena at many levels of organization. Such levels of understanding range from the organismal to the molecular. It is when all these levels can be discussed together that a sense of true achievement begins to be felt. The topical area of fatty acid transport and metabolism was the focus of the Third International Conference on Lipid-Binding Proteins held at the University of Minnesota in May 1997. This volume contains a sampling of the proceedings of this meeting.

Editorial Reviews

Contains a sampling of the proceedings of a May 1997 meeting, focusing on fatty acid transport and metabolism. Subjects include CD36 antisense expression in 2T2-F442A preadipocytes, the liver fatty acid binding protein, mechanisms of cellular uptake of long chain free fatty acids, and paradigms for defining the mechanism underlying long- chain fatty acid transport in bacteria and yeast. Other topics include novel classes of fatty acid and retinol binding protein from nematodes, long chain fatty acids as modulators of gene transcription in preadipose cells, and fatty acid interactions with native and mutant fatty acid binding proteins. Reprinted from , vol. 192, 1999. Lacks a subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
