Cholesterol depletion in adipocytes causes caveolae collapse concomitant with proteosomal degradation of cavin-2 in a switch-like fashion. [PDF]
Caveolae, little caves of cell surfaces, are enriched in cholesterol, a certain level of which is required for their structural integrity. Here we show in adipocytes that cavin-2, a peripheral membrane protein and one of 3 cavin isoforms present in ...

Co-regulation of cell polarization and migration by caveolar proteins PTRF/Cavin-1 and caveolin-1. [PDF]
Caveolin-1 and caveolae are differentially polarized in migrating cells in various models, and caveolin-1 expression has been shown to quantitatively modulate cell migration.

IGF-IR internalizes with Caveolin-1 and PTRF/Cavin in HaCat cells. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) is a tyrosine kinase receptor (RTK) associated with caveolae, invaginations of the plasma membrane that regulate vesicular transport, endocytosis and intracellular signaling.

Lessons from cavin-1 deficiency [PDF]
Caveolae have been implicated in a wide range of critical physiological functions. In the past decade, the dominant role of cavin-1 in caveolae formation has been established, and it has been recognized as another master regulator for caveolae biology.

Hypoxia Inhibits Cavin-1 and Cavin-2 Expression and Down-Regulates Caveolae in Adipocytes [PDF]
AbstractDuring obesity, a hypoxic state develops within the adipose tissue, resulting in insulin resistance. To understand the underlying mechanism, we analyzed the involvement of caveolae because they play a crucial role in the activation of insulin receptors.

MURC/cavin-4 Is Co-Expressed with Caveolin-3 in Rhabdomyosarcoma Tumors and Its Silencing Prevents Myogenic Differentiation in the Human Embryonal RD Cell Line. [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether MURC/cavin-4, a plasma membrane and Z-line associated protein exhibiting an overlapping distribution with Caveolin-3 (Cav-3) in heart and muscle tissues, may be expressed and play a role in ...

Comparison of phenolic and volatile profiles of edible and toxic forms of Detarium senegalense J. F. GMEL [PDF]
In Senegal, Detarium senegalense J.F. Gmel. (ditax in Wolof) is one of the most important important forest fruit species. However, exploitation of the edible fruit is based on local people's knowledge.

Arterial dysfunction but maintained systemic blood pressure in cavin-1-deficient mice. [PDF]
Caveolae are omega-shaped plasma membrane micro-domains that are abundant in cells of the vascular system. Formation of caveolae depends on caveolin-1 and cavin-1 and lack of either protein leads to loss of caveolae.
