Calcium signaling is one of the hottest topics in cell science research today, and Calcium as a Cellular Regulator encompasses all aspects of this exciting field of study. It covers everything from methods of measuring calcium in cells, to the systems that control its concentration in the cytoplasm and organelles, to the molecular mechanisms for decoding its information. With twenty-seven chapters written by prominent scientists in cell research, this book is the first exhaustive attempt to cover the topic and fill a gap in the rapidly expanding area of calcium signaling. Each chapter skillfully balances historical details with state-of-the-art information on the latest developments in cell science, making it ideal for professionals and graduate students in biochemistry and related fields.

Review
"Calcium signaling has now become one of the hottest topics in cell science. This book encompasses all aspects of calcium signaling, from methods of measuring calcium in cells, to the systems that control its concentration in the cytoplasm and organelles, to the molecular mechanisms for decoding its information. The book is divided into 3 parts covering the general aspects, calcium-modulated proteins, and specialized functions of calcium. With 27 chapters, this book is the first comprehensive attempt to cover the topic of calcium as a cell regulator and fills a gap in this rapidly expanding area. The chapters include historical aspects and state-of-the-art information on latest developments. Many tables, charts, graphs and diagrams are found throughout to help explain this relatively new topic of research."--Veterinary and Human Toxicology
