Name | CAV1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | CAV |
Function | May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes (PubMed:11751885). Forms a stable heterooligomeric complex with CAV2 that targets to lipid rafts and drives caveolae formation. Mediates the recruitment of CAVIN proteins (CAVIN1/2/3/4) to the caveolae (PubMed:19262564). Interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity (By similarity). Involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation. Its binding to DPP4 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner (PubMed:17287217). Recruits CTNNB1 to caveolar membranes and may regulate CTNNB1-mediated signaling through the Wnt pathway (By similarity). Negatively regulates TGFB1-mediated activation of SMAD2/3 by mediating the internalization of TGFBR1 from membrane rafts leading to its subsequent degradation (PubMed:25893292). Binds 20(S)- hydroxycholesterol (20(S)-OHC) (By similarity). |

Background
Caveolin 1 is a ubiquitous protein found within the membranes of caveolea, theoretically acting as a scaffolding protein. Direct interaction with G-protein alpha subunits allows regulation of their activity. A regulatory protein, it is involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation, and is also a factor in the regulation of CTNNB1-mediated signaling through the Wnt pathway. Expressed in the muscle and lung tissues predominantly, defects in CAV1 is the cause of congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 3, or autosomal recessive disorders such as adipose tissue, extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis and early onset diabetes. Anti-Caveolin 1 antibody is ideal for researchers in Metabolism, Cancer, Signal Transduction, and Cardiovascular research.
