Caveolin-2 associates with intracellular chlamydial inclusions independently of caveolin-1 [PDF]
Background Lipid raft domains form in plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells by the tight packing of glycosphingolipids and cholesterol. Caveolae are invaginated structures that form in lipid raft domains when the protein caveolin-1 is expressed.

Expression of Caveolin-1, Caveolin-2 and Caveolin-3 in Thyroid Cancer and Stroma [PDF]
<i>Objective:</i> To study the expression status of caveolin-1, caveolin-2 and caveolin-3 in the epithelial and stromal compartments of conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary carcinoma (DSVPC) and anaplastic carcinoma (AC).

Identification of Caveolin and Caveolin-Related Proteins in the Brain [PDF]
Caveolae are 50–100 nm, nonclathrin-coated, flask-shaped plasma membrane microdomains that have been identified in most mammalian cell types, except lymphocytes and neurons. To date, multiple functions have been ascribed to caveolae, including the compartmentalization of lipid and protein components that function in transmembrane signaling events ...

Upregulation of aquaporin-2 and caveolins in rat bladder with outlet obstruction-induced detrusor overactivity [PDF]
Purpose: Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) leads to detrusor overactivity (DO) and structural remodeling of the bladder. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain incompletely understood.

Caveolin-2 may act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar/lipid raft membranes. Caveolin-2 forms stable hetero-oligomeric complexes with caveolin-1 in many cell types, including fibroblastic cells. Caveolin-2 can also interact with caveolin-3, the striated muscle-specific isoform, when co-expressed in muscle cells.

Regulation of caveolin and caveolae by cholesterol in MDCK cells
We have examined the expression of caveolin in MDCK cells under conditions that vary cellular cholesterol concentration. Caveolin mRNA levels dropped to one-sixth of control levels after treatment with simvastatin, an inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis ...

Caveolin-1 and Caveolin-2 Can Be Antagonistic Partners in Inflammation and Beyond [PDF]
Caveolins, encoded by the CAV gene family, are the main protein components of caveolae. In most tissues, caveolin-1 (Cav-1) and caveolin-2 (Cav-2) are co-expressed, and Cav-2 targeting to caveolae depends on the formation of heterooligomers with Cav-1 ...

Decreased Expression of Urethral Caveolin-1, −2, and −3 in the Rat Model of Overactive Bladder: Potential Mediator of Functional Interaction of Urethra and Urinary Bladder [PDF]
Purpose To investigate the effect of detrusor overactivity (DO) on the urethral expression of caveolin (CAV)-1, −2, and −3 of urethra in an animal model of cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced cystitis rat.

Caveolins in rhabdomyosarcoma [PDF]
Caveolins are scaffolding proteins that play a pivotal role in numerous processes, including caveolae biogenesis, vesicular transport, cholesterol homeostasis and regulation of signal transduction. There are three different isoforms (Cav-1, -2 and -3) that form homo- and hetero-aggregates at the plasma membrane and modulate the activity of a number of ...

Introduction: Caveolin-1 and Caveolin-2 (CAV1 and CAV2) are proteins associated with intercellular neurotrophic signalling. There is converging evidence that CAV1 and CAV2 (CAV1/2) genes have a role in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
