| Product description |
Cavin 1-PTRF has been shown to be an essential component of caveolae. Cavin 1-PTRF appear to be recruited to membrane domains containing PS, cholesterol and oligomerized caveolins. Binding of Cavin 1-PTRF to these domains stabilizes the membrane curvature to produce the classic flask shape of caveolae. Disassembly of Cavin 1- PTRF releases caveolar components, including caveolins into the plasma membrane. Succinctly it appears that Cavin 1-PTRF regulates caveola structure and function.1) Hill MM, Bastiani M, Luetterforst R, Kirkham M, Kirkham A, Nixon SJ, Walser P, Abankwa D, Oorschot VM, Martin S, Hancock JF, Parton RG., PTRF-Cavin, a conserved cytoplasmic protein required for caveola formation and function., Cell. 2008 Jan 11;132(1):23-4 |
