Caveolin-1 is a scaffolding protein that plays a key role in organizing and regulating caveolae, small invaginations of the cell membrane involved in cellular signaling and vesicular trafficking. Research on caveolin-1 has focused on its involvement in various cellular processes, such as endocytosis, cholesterol transport, and signal transduction. Additionally, caveolin-1 has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. Studying caveolin-1 and its interactions with other proteins may provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of these diseases and potential therapeutic targets.
