Caveolin, a 21-24-kDa integral membrane protein, is a principal component of caveolae
membranes. We have suggested that caveolin functions as a scaffolding protein to organize …

The mammalian caveolin gene family consists of caveolins-1,-2, and-3. The expression of
caveolin-3 is muscle-specific. In contrast, caveolins-1 and-2 are co-expressed, and they form …

Caveolin is a principal structural component of caveolae membranes in vivo Recently, a
family of caveolin-related proteins has been identified; caveolin has been retermed caveolin …

Here, we have created a series of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) deletion mutants to examine whether
the membrane spanning segment is required for membrane attachment of caveolin-1 in vivo …

Caveolins form interlocking networks on the cytoplasmic face of caveolae. The
cytoplasmically directed N and C termini of caveolins are separated by a central …

Caveolin, a 22-24-kDa integral membrane protein, is a principal component of caveolar
membranes in vivo. Caveolin has been proposed to function as a scaffolding protein to …

Abstract Caveolae, 50–100 nm invaginations that represent a subcompartment of the
plasma membrane, have been known for many years, but their exact roles remain uncertain …

Caveolin, an integral membrane protein, is a principal component of caveolae membranes
in vivo. Two isoforms of caveolin have been identified: a slower migrating 24-kDa species (α …

Caveolins are integral membrane proteins which are a major component of caveolae. In
addition, caveolins have been proposed to cycle between intracellular compartments and …

A 22-kDa protein, caveolin, is localized to the cytoplasmic surface of plasma membrane
specializations called caveolae. We have proposed that caveolin may function as a …
