Abstract excerpt
Caveolae are omega-shaped organelles of the cell surface. The protein caveolin-3, a structural component of cardiac caveolae, is associated with cellular signaling. To investigate the effect of adenovirus-mediated overexpression of caveolin-3 on hypertrophic responses in cardiomyocytes, we constructed an adenovirus that encoded human wild-type caveolin-3 (Ad.Cav-3), mutant caveolin-3 (Ad.Cav-3Delta), or bacterial...
