Caveolin proteins in signaling, oncogenic transformation and muscular dystrophy
15 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
In adult animals and humans, signal transduction maintains homeostasis. When homeostatic mechanisms are interrupted, an illness or disease may ensue. Caveolae are plasma membrane specializations that contain the structural proteins caveolins, and appear to be important for normal signal transduction. The caveolin scaffolding domain interacts with several signaling molecules, sequestering them in the absence of...
