Signaling by Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

Discover the intricate world of cellular communication with "Signaling by Receptor Tyrosine Kinases" by Joseph Schlessinger, published in 2013. This comprehensive book spans 478 pages and delves into the fascinating mechanisms of receptor tyrosine kinases, a vital family of cell-surface receptors that play a crucial role in responding to various intercellular signals such as insulin and growth factors including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF).

Through engaging discussions, Schlessinger explores how ligand binding activates the tyrosine kinase activity of these receptors, initiating a cascade of intracellular signaling pathways that govern essential processes like cell proliferation and differentiation. Ideal for researchers and students alike, this book offers invaluable insights into cellular signal transduction, making it a must-have addition to your scientific library.
