      Cryptic Enzymes and Moonlighting Proteins, a new volume in the Foundations and Frontiers in Enzymology series, offers a thorough overview of cryptic enzymes and moonlighting proteins in signaling cascades. In early chapters, leading international contributors discuss evolutionary considerations for moonlighting proteins, moonlighting interactions in the extracellular matrix, eukaryotic moonlighting proteins, modulating, moonlighting kinases, moonlighting proteins in neurobiology signaling, metabolic enzymes moonlighting as RNA binding and regulatory proteins. Later, methods-driven chapters discuss practical aspects of identifying hidden moonlighting domains in proteins, computational approaches and bioinformatic tools for the identification of cryptic enzymes, establishing cryptic enzyme interactomes, and assessing contributions of moonlighting proteins to signal cascades.The book also explores recent advances in research and brings together an array of information across different fields to enable better targeting of these exciting proteins and their interactomes. With a clear focus on the role of moonlighting and cryptic enzymes in signal transduction, users will find examples of cryptic enzymes across species, as well as those in human healthy biology and pathogenesis.
