Caveolae are plasma membrane-attached vesicular organelles. Caveolin-1, a 21–24-kDa
integral membrane protein, is a principal component of caveolae membranes in vivo. Both
caveolae and caveolin are most abundantly expressed in terminally differentiated cells:
adipocytes, endothelial cells, and muscle cells. Conversely, caveolin-1 mRNA and protein
expression are lost or reduced during cell transformation by activated oncogenes such as v-
abl and H-ras (G12V); caveolae are absent from these cell lines. However, its remains …
