Kastin. 330 $aHandbook of Biologically Active Peptides, Second Edition, is the definitive, indispensable reference for peptide researchers, biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and endocrinologists. Its chapters are designed to be a source for workers in the field and enable researchers working in a specific area to examine related areas outside their expertise. Peptides play a crucial role in many physiological processes, including actions as neurotransmitters, hormones, and antibiotics. Research has shown their importance in such fields as neuroscience, immunology, pharmacology, and cell biology. The Handbook of Biologically Active Peptides presents, for the first time, this tremendous body of knowledge in the field of biologically active peptides in one single reference. The section editors and contributors represent some of the most sophisticated and distinguished scientists working in basic sciences and clinical medicine. The Handbook of Biologically Active Peptides is a definitive, all-encompassing reference that will be indispensable for individuals ranging from peptide researchers, to biochemists, cell and molecular biologists, neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and to endocrinologists. Chapters are designed to be a source for workers in the field and will enable researchers working in a specific area to examine other related areas with which they would not ordinarily be familiar"--Publisher's description. 517 3 $aBiologically active peptides 606 $aPeptides$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aPeptide hormones 606 $aHormones$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aPeptides 615 0$aPeptide hormones. 615 0$aHormones 676 $a572.65 676 $a612.015756 702 $aKastin$b Abba J. 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786136403321 996 $aHandbook of biologically active peptides$93786787 997 $aUNINA
