Handbook of Hormones 2ed: Comparative Endocrinology for Basic and Clinical Research (Supplementary Material)

This dataset consists of supplementary sequence data, comparative data, figures and tables for the book Handbook of Hormones 2ed: Comparative Endocrinology for Basic and Clinical Research, edited by Hironori Ando, Kazuyoshi Ukena and Shinji Nagata [9780128206492]. Handbook of Hormones: Comparative Endocrinology for Basic and Clinical Research, Second Edition, presents a catalog of fundamental information on the structure and function of hormones from basic biology to clinical use, offering a rapid way to obtain specific facts about the chemical and molecular characteristics of hormones, their receptors, signaling pathways, and the biological activities they regulate. The book's stellar editorial board, affiliated with the Japan Society for Comparative Endocrinology, brings together authors that present a compelling structure of each hormone with a consistent presentation that provides a primer surrounding the plethora of hormones that now exist. Comparative endocrinology continues to rapidly expand and new information about hormones is being produced almost daily, making it important to stay up-to-date. Hormone, paracrine, and autocrine factors have been identified as key players in a range of different systems, including immune, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular. Frontiers between disciplines are being blurred and many scientists in fields other than endocrinology are interested in hormones. Scientists now have the unprecedented opportunity to look from invertebrates to vertebrate and identify novel regulatory factors and understand their function and how they determine an organism’s physiology and survival.本数据集包含由安弘典（Hironori Ando）、宇根和义（Kazuyoshi Ukena）与永田真治（Shinji Nagata）编辑、ISBN为9780128206492的《激素手册（第2版）：基础与临床研究中的比较内分泌学》的补充序列数据、比较数据、图片及表格。 《激素手册：基础与临床研究中的比较内分泌学》第2版汇编了从基础生物学到临床应用的激素结构与功能相关基础信息，为快速获取激素、其受体、信号通路及其所调控的生物学活性的化学与分子特征等特定事实提供了高效途径。隶属于日本比较内分泌学会（Japan Society for Comparative Endocrinology）的顶尖编委会集结了一众作者，以统一规范的呈现形式构建每种激素的清晰框架，为当前已有的海量激素提供了系统性入门指引。当前比较内分泌学领域仍在快速发展，关于激素的新信息几乎每日更新，因此及时跟进领域前沿动态尤为关键。激素、旁分泌（paracrine）与自分泌（autocrine）因子已被证实是包括免疫、肌肉骨骼及心血管系统在内的多种生理系统中的核心调控因子。学科间的边界正逐渐模糊，诸多内分泌学以外领域的科研人员也对激素研究抱有浓厚兴趣。如今，科研人员拥有前所未有的机遇，可覆盖从无脊椎动物到脊椎动物的研究范畴，识别新型调控因子，解析其功能，并阐明其如何调控生物体的生理状态与生存能力。
