Cavin family proteins and the assembly of caveolae
ABSTRACT Caveolae are an abundant feature of the plasma membrane in many cells. Until recently, they were generally considered to be membrane invaginations whose formation primarily driven by integral membrane proteins called caveolins. However, the past decade has seen the emergence of the cavin family of peripheral membrane proteins as

Caveolae are invaginated membrane domains that provide mechanical strength to cells in addition to being focal points for the localization of signaling molecules. Caveolae are formed through the aggregation of caveolin-1 or -3 (Cav1/3), membrane proteins

Role of Caveolae family-related proteins in the development of breast cancer
Breast cancer has become the most significant malignant tumor threatening women’s lives. Caveolae are concave pits formed by invagination of the plasma membrane that participate in many biological functions of the cell membrane, such as endocytosis, cell

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.

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.

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 ...

Cavin-1 and Cavin-3, but not Cavin-2 and Cavin-4 negatively regulate CLIC endocytosis. [PDF]
(A) CAV1−/− MEFs were transiently transfected with pIRES-GFP, pIRES-Cavin-1, pIRES-Cavin-2, pIRES-Cavin-3, and pIRES-Cavin-4 respectively and internalization assay was performed with anti-CD44 mAb and Tfn-647 for 2 min at 37°C.
