Overview

Caveolin-1 is a protein encoded by the CAV1 gene which is approximately 20, 4 kDa. Caveolin-1 is localised to the Golgi apparatus membrane and cell membrane. It is involved in eNOS activation and regulation, focal adhesion and lipoprotein metabolism. It is a scaffolding protein that makes up the main component of the caveolae plasma membranes found in most cell types. The protein links integrin subunits to the tyrosine kinase FYN which is an initiating step in coupling integrins to the Ras-ERK pathway and promoting cell cycle progression. Caveolin-1 is expressed in the brain. Mutations in the CAV1 gene may result in pulmonary hypertension and lipodystrophy. STJ92051 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Caveolin-1 protein.
