Endocytic Components: Identification and Characterization, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1993 Subcellular Biochemistry Series, Vol. 19

In step with the rapid growth of research into the biochemical and functional characterization of the endosome, Volume 19 surveys the recent advances in the methodological aspects of this field. Coverage includes the use of free flow electrophoresis to define endosome subpopulations, the endosomal compartments in rat hepatocytes, the role of endosomes in transmembrane signalling, and six additional articles.
