Sarcoplasmic reticulum is a form of endoplasmic reticulum found in largequantities in mature muscle cells. Anthony Martonosi presents generalinformation about the development and function of the sarcoplasmic reticulumwithin a framework of contemporary research on the molecular biology ofbiosynthetic and signaling processes. Focusing on the development of thesarcoplasmic reticulum Martonosi demonstrates the regulatory functions thatcontrol the production of its molecular components and investigates theinteraction of these lipid and protein molecules with the myogenic neurogenicand hormonal stimuli present in developing muscle cells. Martonosi providesextensive experimental support throughout the book. «
