Springer 2009. Hardcover. Near Fine. Hardcover xiii 360 pages NOT ex-library. Not an economy/Indian edition. Mildly used clean and bright throughout with unmarked text free of inscriptions and stamps firmly bound. Published without a dust jacket. -- Since its first description in 1942 in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid transthyretin TTR has had an eventful history including changes in name from 'prealbumin' to 'thyroxine-binding prealbumin' to 'transthyretin' as knowledge increased about its functions. TTR is synthesised in a wide range of tissues in humans and other eutherian mammals: the liver choroid plexus blood- cerebrospinal fluid barrier retinal pigment epithelium of the eye pancreas intestine and meninges. However its sites of synthesis are more restricted in other vertebrates. This implies that the number of tissues synthesising TTR during vertebrate evolution has increased and raises questions about the selection pressures governing TTR synthesis. TTR is most widely known as a distributor of thyroid hormones. In addition TTR binds retinol-binding protein which binds retinol. In this way TTR is also involved with retinoid distribution. More recently TTR has been demonstrated to bind a wide variety of endocrine disruptors including drugs pollutants industrial compounds heavy metals and some naturally occurring plant flavonoids. These not only interfere with thyroid hormone delivery in the body but also transport such endocrine disruptors into the brain where they have the potential to accumulate. -- Contents: 1 Mechanisms of Molecular Recognition: Structural Characteristics of Transthyretin Ligand Interactions / Vivian Cody & Andrzej Wojtczak; 2 Transthyretin Synthesis During Development and Evolution: What the Marsupials Revealed / Samantha J.
