Calcium Homeostasis

Volume III of this series deals with cellular calcium homeostasis aspects and structural properties of extra- and intracellular calcium-binding proteins are described. The structure/function relationship of calcium-transport proteins, and the role of calcium as a regulator of the activity specific protein kinases and phosphatase(s) are also described. The volume is a valuable source of information for graduate students and researchers who want to acquaint themselves with various aspects extracellular calcium. .
