Springer - Mammalian Amino Acid Transport: Mechanism and Control

Explore the complex world of amino acid transport with this specialized volume from Springer. While amino acid transport is often viewed as a subset of amino acid metabolism or biomembrane transport of small molecules and ions, this book treats the subject as a standalone field of study. By taking a comprehensive approach, the text addresses the historic and ongoing developments in the field. It traces the origins of amino acid transport research back to the pioneering work of Van Slyke, providing context for how the discipline acquired its own momentum. This resource is designed for those looking to understand the specific mechanisms and control systems that govern how amino acids move within mammalian systems. Whether you are studying metabolism or membrane transport, this volume offers a dedicated perspective on the unique aspects of amino acid movement.
