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 ...

M‐caveolin, a muscle‐specific caveolin‐related protein [PDF]
Caveolae, small invaginations of the plasma membrane, are a characteristic feature of many mammalian cells. The best‐characterised caveolar protein is the integral membrane protein, VIP21‐caveolin. We now describe a novel homologue of VIP21‐caveolin, M‐caveolin, which is expressed exclusively in muscle.

Steady-state modulation of voltage-gated K+ channels in rat arterial smooth muscle by cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and protein phosphatase 2B [PDF]
Voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv) are important regulators of membrane potential in vascular smooth muscle cells, which is integral to controlling intracellular Ca2+ concentration and regulating vascular tone. Previous work indicates that Kv channels

A simplified method for the preparation of detergent-free lipid rafts
Lipid rafts are small plasma membrane domains that contain high levels of cholesterol and sphingolipids. Traditional methods for the biochemical isolation of lipid rafts involve the extraction of cells with nonionic detergents followed by the separation ...
