This text offers self-contained descriptions of established laboratory protocols for studying receptor-mediated cell signalling, with particular attention devoted to those receptors that are part of the G-protein-linked superfamily. It allows those already working in the field as well as those in related areas the opportunity to expand their range of experimental techniques and to carry out successful investigations without needing to refer to any other methodological source.

Reviews
...this well-organized volume is clearly among the most viable protocol books published in this field and will turn out to be a helpful tool for many laboratories.-FEBS Letters ...well organzied...up to date...should be in each laboratory or at least in your department library for easy reference. -Biopharm
