Lysophosphatidate Signaling Cellular Effects and Molecular Mechanisms

Addresses the varied cellular effects of lysophosphatidate (LPA) and the molecular biology of its signaling pathway to the extent that it has been dissected thus far. Covers the structural properties and metabolic role of LPA; smooth muscle; mitogenic effects and Ca2 release; antimitogenesis; blood; morphology; cytoskeleton; non-mammals; receptors and membrane G proteins; cAMP; intracellular signaling; and sphingosine-1-phosphate.
