Peptidergic G Protein-Coupled Receptors. From Basic Research to Clinical Applications (Nato Science Series A: Life Sciences, Volume 307)

Looks at peptides as a growing class of mediators, whose activity regulates homoeostasis. Most of the peptide-activated receptors belong to the superfamily of transmembrane domain receptors coupled to G-proteins. The book then looks at how these represent the way of entry of the HIV virus.
