Hormones and Signaling focuses on the mechanism of gene regulation at the cellular level. It also covers the way hormones act to modulate gene regulation and animal development.

Includes information on:

• Nuclear receptors, coactivators, and corepressors
• Membrane receptors, kinases, and phosphorylation on cascades
• Hormonal regulation of development
• Calcium channels and neurotransmitters
• Chromatin, transcription factors, and regulation of gene expression
• JAK/STAT pathways
• Hormone-regulated development and gene "knock-out"

Tony Hunter received his Ph.D. in 1969 from the University of Cambridge, England. He joined the Salk Institute in 1975 as an assistant professor and has been a professor since 1982. His current interests are the protein-tyrosine kinases of the Src and growth factor receptor families and the protein-tyrosine phosphatases that remove the phosphates added by protein-tyrosine kinases. He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1987, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1992, and as an Associate Member of the European Molecular Biology Organization in 1992.
