Abstract excerpt
Caveolin-1 belongs to a family of scaffolding proteins, and the P132L point mutation of this gene has been found in up to 16% of all examined breast cancers. Subsequent studies have revealed that the P132L mutation exerts a dominant negative effect through misfolding during caveolin-1 oligomerization. However, this mutation has not been validated in other series of breast cancer samples. Contradictory to the...
