This volume presents relevant
background information to understanding the molecular basis governing
unconventional protein secretion (UPS), and in particular explores the latest
techniques and protocols that have been successfully applied for the study of
this topic. Detailed chapters include an overview of conventional and
unconventional secretory pathways along with multidisciplinary approaches and
methods used for UPS analysis in different organisms. Written in the highly successful Methods in
Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their
respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,
readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Unconventional
Protein Secretion: Methods and Protocols will be useful
for all interested in the secretory pathway field as well as applications in
cell biology, cell development, biomedical research, and healthcare.
