To best understand corruption, one needs to examine how it operates in practice. Understanding Corruption tells the story of how corruption happens in the real world, illustrated through detailed case studies of the many different types of corruption that span the globe. Each case study follows a tried and tested analytical approach that provides key insights into the workings of corruption and the measures best used to tackle it. The case studies examined include examples of corporate bribery, political corruption, facilitation payments, cronyism, state capture, kleptocracy, asset recovery, offshore secrecy, reputation laundering and unexplained wealth, and actors include businesses, governments, politicians, governing bodies and public servants."--Publisher.corruptionengEUROVOCcase studyengEUROVOCcorruption.case study.Barrington Robert1535674David-Barrett Elizabeth1975-1535675Power Sam1058092Hough Dan1535676BOOK9910795624403321Understanding corruption3784019UNINA02277nam 2200445z- 450 991055722200332120211118(CKB)5400000000041724(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/73699(oapen)doab73699(EXLCZ)99540000000004172420202111d2020 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierG Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinases (GRKs) and Beta-Arrestins: New Insights into Disease RegulatorsFrontiers Media SA20201 online resource (182 p.)2-88963-547-3 G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and arrestins were initially identified as a pivotal player in the process of desensitization of agonist-activated G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, growing evidence suggests GRKs and arrestins fulfill a vital role in regulating a variety of cellular proteins involved in signal transduction independently of GPCRs. Thus, GRKs and arrestins can interact with non-GPCRs. GRKs and arrestins may directly affect functioning of non-GPCRs or indirectly regulate non-GPCR signaling. In addition, emerging evidence supports that changes in function and/or expression of GRKs and arrestins may be important in cardiovascular, inflammatory, metabolic, or cancer pathologies. A better understanding of the pathological roles of GRKs and arrestins would provide a basis for new therapeutic targets in different human diseases.G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinases PharmacologybicsscScience: general issuesbicsscbeta-arrestinscancercardiovascularGRKinflammationPharmacologyScience: general issuesHattori Yuichiedt1302137Michel Martin CedtHattori YuichiothMichel Martin CothBOOK9910557222003321G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinases (GRKs) and Beta-Arrestins: New Insights into Disease Regulators3026157UNINA
