Anticorpi Caveolin-1

May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes (PubMed:11751885). Forms a stable heterooligomeric complex with CAV2 that targets to lipid rafts and drives caveolae formation. Mediates the recruitment of CAVIN proteins (CAVIN1/2/3/4) to the caveolae (PubMed:19262564). Interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity (By similarity). Involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation. Its binding to DPP4 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner (PubMed:17287217). Recruits CTNNB1 to caveolar membranes and may regulate CTNNB1-mediated signaling through the Wnt pathway (By similarity). Negatively regulates TGFB1-mediated activation of SMAD2/3 by mediating the internalization of TGFBR1 from membrane rafts leading to its subsequent degradation (PubMed:25893292).

The scaffolding protein encoded by this gene is the main component of the caveolae plasma membranes found in most cell types. The protein links integrin subunits to the tyrosine kinase FYN, an initiating step in coupling integrins to the Ras-ERK pathway and promoting cell cycle progression. The gene is a tumor suppressor gene candidate and a negative regulator of the Ras-p42/44 mitogen-activated kinase cascade. Caveolin 1 and caveolin 2 are located next to each other on chromosome 7 and express colocalizing proteins that form a stable hetero-oligomeric complex. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcripts encode alpha and beta isoforms of caveolin 1.

Skeletal muscle, liver, stomach, lung, kidney and heart (at protein level). Expressed in the brain.

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy 3: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a near complete absence of adipose tissue, extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis and early onset of diabetes.

Pulmonary hypertension, primary, 3: A rare disorder characterized by plexiform lesions of proliferating endothelial cells in pulmonary arterioles. The lesions lead to elevated pulmonary arterial pression, right ventricular failure, and death. The disease can occur from infancy throughout life and it has a mean age at onset of 36 years. Penetrance is reduced. Although familial pulmonary hypertension is rare, cases secondary to known etiologies are more common and include those associated with the appetite-suppressant drugs.

Lipodystrophy, familial partial, 7: A form of partial lipodystrophy, a disorder characterized by abnormal subcutaneous fat distribution. Affected individuals manifest a gradual loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue in various parts of the body, accompanied by an accumulation of adipose tissue in the face and neck in some cases causing a double chin, fat neck, or cushingoid appearance. FPLD7 is an autosomal dominant form with a variable phenotype. Some patients manifest congenital cataracts and neurodegeneration leading to cerebellar and spinal cord dysfunction.

Belongs to the caveolin family.

Ubiquitinated. Undergo monoubiquitination and multi- and/or polyubiquitination (PubMed:21822278). Monoubiquitination of N-terminal lysines promotes integration in a ternary complex with UBXN6 and VCP which promotes oligomeric CAV1 targeting to lysosomes for degradation (PubMed:23335559).
