Each chapter describes the elucidated role of a specific RGS protein or family of RGS proteins in normal physiology and/or disease with particular emphasis on how these discoveries inform healthcare and drug discovery.
The work is a timely reference as drugs targeting G protein coupled receptors represent 40% of currently marketed therapeutics.
- Brings together information on the current state of the RGS protein field
- Contains comprehensive descriptions of the known pathophysiological and physiological functions of RGS proteins, the first such undertaking
- Gives particular emphasis to the ways these discoveries inform healthcare and drug discovery
