Ras Superfamily Small G Proteins: Biology and Mechanisms 2 Transport

This second of two volumes discusses subfamily proteins involved in nucleo-cytoplasmic and vesicular transport mechanisms inside the cell. In this volume, the focus lies on the Rab, Ran and Arf subfamily members. Like Volume 1, the book was written by internationally renowned scientists in the field...
