Pathophysiological Role of Caveolae in Hypertension [PDF]
Caveolae, flask-shaped cholesterol-, and glycosphingolipid-rich membrane microdomains, contain caveolin 1, 2, 3 and several structural proteins, in particular Cavin 1–4, EHD2, pacsin2, and dynamin 2.

Caveolae are one of the most abundant and striking features of the plasma membrane of many mammalian cell types. These surface pits have fascinated biologists since their discovery by the pioneers of electron microscopy in the middle of the last century, but we are only just starting to understand their multiple functions.

AbstractCaveolae are an abundant, but enigmatic, plasma membrane feature of vertebrate cells. In this brief commentary, the authors attempt to answer some key questions related to the formation and function of caveolae based on round‐table discussions at the first EMBO Workshop on Caveolae held in France in May 2019.

A Quarter Century of EHD Protein Research: From Endosomal Recycling to Ciliopathies. [PDF]
Human EHD protein subcellular localization. ABSTRACT Eps15 homology domain‐containing proteins comprise a conserved family of membrane‐remodeling ATPases that regulate endocytic trafficking, membrane fission, receptor recycling, primary ciliogenesis and membrane dynamics across eukaryotes. Since the initial identification of EHD1 and its Caenorhabditis

Lipid accumulation controls the balance between surface connection and scission of caveolae
Caveolae are bulb-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane (PM) that undergo scission and fusion at the cell surface and are enriched in specific lipids.

Introduction of caveolae structural proteins into the protozoan Toxoplasma results in the formation of heterologous caveolae but not caveolar endocytosis. [PDF]
Present on the plasma membrane of most metazoans, caveolae are specialized microdomains implicated in several endocytic and trafficking mechanisms. Caveolins and the more recently discovered cavins are the major protein components of caveolae.

Energy and Dynamics of Caveolae Trafficking
Caveolae are 70–100 nm diameter plasma membrane invaginations found in abundance in adipocytes, endothelial cells, myocytes, and fibroblasts. Their bulb-shaped membrane domain is characterized and formed by specific lipid binding proteins including ...
