May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes, functionally participating in formation of caveolae or caveolae-like vesicles
Tissue Specificity
A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in human Flotillin-1 was used as immunogen.
Cellular Localization
Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Membrane, caveola; Peripheral membrane protein. Melanosome Endosome. Note=Membrane-associated protein of caveolae. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV
