Genomic Location:

Chr 6: 17231341-17239011

Description:

This gene belongs to the caveolin family whose members encode the major protein components of caveolae, which are invaginations of plasma membrane. This gene is located adjacent to caveolin-1 and the proteins coexpressed by the two genes localize together in caveolae, where they form hetero-oligomers.

View Full Description

This gene belongs to the caveolin family whose members encode the major protein components of caveolae, which are invaginations of plasma membrane. This gene is located adjacent to caveolin-1 and the proteins coexpressed by the two genes localize together in caveolae, where they form hetero-oligomers. The encoded protein may be involved in diverse cellular functions including proliferation, differentiation, endocytosis and trafficking. Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
