Publisher's Synopsis
Neuropeptides are a rapidly growing class of signal molecules, and study of their molecular biology is providing insights into important mechanisms of gene expression. In this book, scientists survey the recent progress made in the identification of neuropeptides and the factors regulating their expression, including transcription factors, enzymes involved in post-translational processing as well as agents modulating peptide hormone release at synaptic terminals. It should prove to be of interest to both neuroscientists and those studying gene expression in general.
