Caveolae are a highly abundant but enigmatic feature of mammalian cells. They form
remarkably stable membrane domains at the plasma membrane but can also function as …

Vasoconstriction and vascular medial hypertrophy, resulting from increased intracellular
[Ca2+] in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC), contribute to elevated vascular …

The dysferlin gene is mutated in limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B, Miyoshi myopathy,
and distal anterior compartment myopathy. In mature skeletal muscle, dysferlin is located …

A proteomics screen of human placental microvillous syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs) revealed
the expression of dysferlin (DYSF), a plasma membrane repair protein associated with …

Mutations in human caveolin-3 are known to underlie a range of myopathies. The cav-1
gene of Caenorhabditis elegans is a homologue of human caveolin-3 and is expressed in …

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), a leading cause of infant death, has a
disproportionate psychosocial and medicolegal impact because it usually occurs in …

We describe a 39-year-old Japanese man with rippling muscle disease who carried a novel
homozygous mutation (Trp70 to a stop codon) in the caveolin-3 gene. The patient also had …

Rippling muscle disease (RMD) is a benign myopathy with symptoms and signs of muscular
hyperirritability. We report a 17‐year‐old patient who presented with muscular hypertrophy …

Abstract δ-Sarcoglycan (δ-SG) is one of the first proteins of the sarcoglycan complex (SGC)
to be expressed during muscle development, and it has been considered fundamental for …

The cysteine and glycine rich protein 3 (CSRP3), apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme
catalytic polypeptide‐like 2 (APOBEC2) and caveolin (CAV) gene family (CAV1, CAV2 …
