In response to the tremendous increase in the number of protein and peptide drugs, this treatise critically reviews transport and metabolism mechanisms relating to the delivery of endogenous and recombinant proteins to mammalian organs, tissues, and cells. It will promote fruitful collaboration among academic and industrial scientists in the fields of pharmacology, cell biology, biochemistry, physiology, and immunology.
