Biochemistry of Collagens, Laminins and Elastin: Structure, Function and Biomarkers

Morten Karsdal
4.9/5 (25168 ratings)
Description:Biochemistry of Collagens, Laminins, and Elastin: Structure, Function, and Biomarkers provides a comprehensive introduction to collagen and structural proteins. Type I collagen is one of the most abundant molecules in the body, playing essential roles in different tissues, particularly bone and skin. A key aspect of type I collagen is its post-translational modifications which are essential for correct synthesis and structural integrity of collagens, for tissue-specific functionality, as well as for application as biomarkers of different pathologies.This volume summarizes current data on key structural proteins (collagens, laminins and elastin), reviews how these molecules affect pathologies, and describes selected modifications of proteins that result in altered signaling properties of the original extracellular matrix component. Further, it discusses the novel concept that an increasing number of components of the ECM harbor cryptic signaling functions that may be viewed as endocrine functions. Additionally, it highlights how this knowledge can be exploited to modulate fibrotic disease.Provides a comprehensive introduction to collagen and structural proteinsProvides insight into emerging analytical technologies that can detect biomarkers of extracellular matrix degradationIncludes a chapter dedicated to the biomarkers of structural proteinsContains insights into the biochemical interactions and changes to structural composition of proteins in disease statesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Biochemistry of Collagens, Laminins and Elastin: Structure, Function and Biomarkers.
