About this book

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large superfamily of proteins that have been historically well represented as drug targets. As such, many of the volumes within The Receptors series have focused their attention on rec- tor subfamilies in the GPCR superfamily (e. g. , adrenergic, serotonergic, do- minergic). While chemokine receptors are relatively young, in terms of the knowledge that has accumulated regarding their roles in physiology and pat- logy, it is clear that this GPCR subfamily is dwar? ng all others with respect to the total number of receptors and their functional diversity. The breadth of the chemokine ? eld was not fully appreciated in the early days of chemokine d- covery, when the characterization of these molecules was largely a curiosity of a small set of biologists primarily interested in in? ammation. Presently, the ? eld of chemokinology is quite diverse, and it is nearly impossible to stay informed on all aspects of chemokine biology. Nonetheless, this book seeks to distill information regarding the molecular and cell biology, physiology, and pathology of chemokines and their receptors into a single volume, providing an excellent resource for those entering the ? eld or the most experienced c- mokinologist seeking new insights. In the chapters, leading authorities consider structural and cellular aspects of chemokines and chemokine receptors, and more notably, discuss the roles of these molecules in a variety of disease states that transcend their classically de? ned role(s) in in? ammation.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book aims to report the knowledge concerning chemokines and their receptors in the context of human physiology, pathology, and future therapeutic possibilities. … this book gives an interesting analysis of the different fields of knowledge and research concerning chemokines and their receptors in recent years. In this way, this book remains interesting for less experienced and mature researchers … ." (Liliane Gattegno, ChemMedChem, Issue 3, 2008)

"The Chemokine Receptors is an impressive and timely overview of the current knowledge in this field. The target readership includes researchers … clinicians including infectiologists, rheumatologists, oncologists and others may surely find information in this book, shedding light on their field of medicine. As such, the book can be used both by people entering the field and by more experienced researchers seeking new insights. … The volume contains numerous figures (including colour plates) as well as informative tables."(F. De Keyser, Acta Clinica Belgica, Vol. 63 (4), 2008)
