Over 80 investigators provide a panoramic account of how cells control and repair the folding of newly synthesized proteins and transport them correctly to membranes, mitochondria and other cellular addresses. This volume should be useful to all cell biologists. It also provides in-depth background information for specialists in synaptic function, cell movement, antigen presentation and other cellular functions to which protein kinesis is vital.
Protein translocation in the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi; protein trafficking at the cell surface; synaptic trafficking; protein folding; protein degradation; membrane dynamics; protein import into organelles; nuclear trafficking; cell polarity; molecular motors; summary.
