Using modern electron microscopy techniques, caveolae can be observed as omega-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane, fully-invaginated caveolae, grape-like clusters of interconnected caveolae (caveosome), or as transcellular channels as a consequence of the fusion of individual caveolae. The caveolin gene family consists of three distinct members, namely Cav-1, Cav-2 and Cav-3. Cav-1 and Cav-2 proteins are usually co-expressed and particularly abundant in epithelial, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells as well as adipocytes and fibroblasts. On the other hand, the Cav-3 protein appears to be muscle-specific and is therefore only expressed in smooth, skeletal and cardiac muscles. Caveolin proteins form high molecular weight homo- and/or hetero-oligomers and assume an unusual topology with both their N- and C-terminal domains facing the cytoplasm. | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Caveolae; Caveolin; Frank; Jasmin; Lisanti; Mechanism; Signaling | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-1222-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-1222-9Series ISSN 0065-2598 Series E-ISSN 2214-8019 | issn_series | 0065-2598 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Science+Busines |
