Abstract excerpt
Mutations and alterations in caveolin-1 expression levels have been linked to a number of human diseases. How misregulation of caveolin-1 contributes to disease is not fully understood, but has been proposed to involve the intracellular accumulation of mutant forms of the protein. To better understand the molecular basis for trafficking defects that trap caveolin-1 intracellularly, we compared the properties of a...
