Abstract excerpt
Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) plays an important role in the organization of signaling molecules involved in a variety of signaling pathways, including those mediating cell motility. Here we show that amino acids K47-K57 of Cav-1 are a highly conserved sequence in Cav-1 and Cav-3 proteins, and that expression of either K47-K57 deletion Cav-1 mutant or wild-type Cav-2 that lacks this sequence exhibits a non-polarized...
