The book provides an introduction to general concepts in the field of polyamine research, as well as more detailed information. With the availability of genome sequence data from a broad range of organisms, the evolution of the genes involved in polyamine metabolism is discussed. The mode of action of polyamines has been shown to be dependent on cation channels, and this mechanism is described in the book. The origin of polyamine transporters (from bacteria, yeasts, and plants) is described. The various effects of polyamines on growth and survival are also documented. The book details the mechanisms of polyamine homeostasis and the role of polyamine molecules as precursors of secondary metabolites such as plant alkaloids and toxins derived from spiders and wasps. The role of polyamines in longevity and disease is discussed. A link between polyamine contents and cancer progression is reported, as is the use of polyamine metabolites as diagnostic markers in the initial stages of cancer. Moreover, a novel approach that utilizes the polyamine pathway of a parasite as a drug target in African sleeping sickness is described. Therefore, this book is a valuable resource, both as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students and also as a reference book for front-line polyamine researchers. 000725136 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed January 26, 2015). 000725136 650_0 $$aPolyamines. 000725136 7001_ $$aKusano, Tomonobu,$$eeditor. 000725136 7001_ $$aSuzuki, Hideyuki,$$eeditor. 000725136 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9784431552116 000725136 852__ $$bebk 000725136 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-4-431-55212-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000725136 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:725136$$pGLOBAL_SET 000725136 980__ $$aEBOOK 000725136 980__ $$aBIB 000725136 982__ $$aEbook 000725136 983__ $$aOnline 000725136 994__ $$a92$$bISE
