Hoboken, N.J. : Wiley, 2012. xxv, 414 p. : ill. (some col.). The Wiley series in protein and peptide science ; 9 Includes bibliographical references and index. pt. 1. Assessing transmembrane movement and asymmetry of lipids -- pt. 2. Lipid asymmetry in cell membranes -- pt. 3. Energy-independent protein-mediated transmembrane movement of lipids -- pt. 4. Energy-dependent lipid transport across membranes -- pt. 5. Relevance of lipid transmembrane distribution for membrane properties and processes -- pt. 6. Apoptosis and diseases : consequences of disruption to lipid transmembrane asymmetry. "As the building blocks of biological membranes, lipids have a very complex set of behaviors that, when defective, can be a major distributor of diseases, including cancer. As the only book to date devoted entirely to lipids in membranes, Membrane Asymmetry and Transmembrane Motion of Lipids enlists leading research groups to present up-to-date quantitative data on the formation, stability and biological consequences of the asymmetrical organization of lipids in cell membranes. With an impressive amount of data, this book explores exciting new discoveries that show promising potential for future study"-- Provided by publisher. Electronic reproduction.
