This volume presents relevant background information to understanding the molecular basis governing unconventional protein secretion (UPS), and in particular explores the latest techniques and prools that have been successfully applied for the study of this topic. Detailed chapters include an overview of conventional and unconventional secretory pathways along with multidisciplinary approaches and methods used for UPS analysis in different organisms. Written in the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series format,chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge,
Unconventional Protein Secretion: Methods and Prools
will beuseful for all interested in the secretory pathway field as well as applications in cell biology, cell development, biomedical research, and healthcare.
