Contents:

1. Lipid rafts, caveolae, and membrane traffic / Doris Meder, Kai Simons -- 2. The forces that shape caveolae / Pierre Sens, Matthew S. Turner -- 3. The biophysical characterization of lipid rafts / Pranav Sharma, Rajat Varma, Satyajit Mayor -- 4. The role of caveolae and noncaveolar rafts in endocytosis / Bo van Deurs, Frederik Vilhardt, Maria Torgersen, Kirstine Roepstorff, Anette M. Hommelgaard, Kirsten Sandvig -- 5.Role of cholesterol in signal transduction from caveolae / Christopher J. Fielding, Phoebe E. Fielding -- 6. Phosphorylation of caveolin and signaling from caveolae / Cynthia Corley Mastick, Amy Sanguinetti, Haiming Cao, Suhani Thakker -- 7. Role of lipid microdomains in the formation of supramolecular protein complexes and transmembrane signaling / György Vámosi, Andrea Bodnár, György Vereb, János Szöllösi, Sándor Damjanovich -- 8. Caveolin and its role in intracellular chaperone complexes / William V. Everson, Eric J. Smart -- 9. The roles of caveolae and caveolin in cell shape, locomotion, and stress fiber formation / Sang Chul Park, Kyung A. Cho -- 10. Lipid rafts in trafficking and processing of prion protein and amyloid precursor protein / Daniela Sarnataro, Vincenza Campana, Chiara Zurzolo -- 11. Caveolae and the endothelial nitric oxide synthase / Olivier Feron -- 12. The role of caveolin-1 in tumor cell survival and cancer progression / Dana Ravid, Mordechai Liscovitch

Summary: This keenly awaited first overview of the field represents a complete guide to the structure and function of the most important mammalian cell membrane organelles. Filling a huge gap in the primary literature, this book is the first to cover the subject in detail. Following an introduction by Kai Simons, the discoverer of lipid rafts and the most prominent scientist in the field, chapters include: Historical background; Distinct structures and functions; Structural basis; Signaling; Viral entry and virion budding; Cholesterol transport; Caveolins; Lipid shells; Cell polarity and intracellular.
