Springer Ryanodine Receptors: Structure, Function and Disease

Ryanodine Receptors: Structure, function and dysfunction in clinical disease (Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine, 254) provides a comprehensive look at the science of ryanodine receptors. Edited by Drs. Xander Wehrens and Andrew Marks, this volume brings together the expertise of scientists who have dedicated their careers to this specific field of study. The text guides readers through a logical progression of knowledge. It begins with the basics of the gene family and primary structure before moving into 3D structure, regulation, and physiology. This academic resource is designed to bridge the gap between fundamental biological research and clinical application. Readers will find detailed information regarding how mutations in the receptor cause disease and how these receptors play a role in adaptation to disease. The book also covers recent developments in how accessory proteins control ryanodine receptors. This makes it a valuable resource for medical professionals and researchers focused on cardiovascular medicine and internal medicine.
