Abstract excerpt
Caveolins are plasma membrane-associated proteins that colocalize with, and stabilize caveolae. Their functions remain unclear although they are known to be involved in specific events in cell signaling and endocytosis. Caenorhabditis elegans encodes two caveolin genes, cav-1 and cav-2. We show that cav-2 is expressed in the intestine where it is localized to the apical membrane and in intracellular bodies. Using...
