Product Specifications
Background
Caveolins are a family ofHYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_membrane_protein" \o "Integral membrane protein"integral membrane proteinswhich are the principal components ofHYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveolae" \o "Caveolae"caveolaemembranes and involved in receptor-independentHYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocytosis" \o "Endocytosis"endocytosis.HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveolin" \l "cite_note-pmid8567687-0"[1], they are found in the majority of adherent, mammalian cells, and played an important role during the development of atherosclerosis.HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caveolin" \l "cite_note-pmid15768830-4"[2]Caveolin 1 (CAV1) is a member of Caveolin gene family, and most prominently expressed inHYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothelium" \o "Endothelium"endothelial, HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_connective_tissue" \o "Fibrous connective tissue"fibrousandHYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipose_tissue" \o "Adipose tissue"adiposetissue. It contains 3 exons spanning about 22 kD. It can link the integrin alpha subunit to the tyrosine kinase as a membrane adaptor[3].
