Figure 2. Structural organizations of a caveola, caveolin-1 and cavin-1.

Figure 2

Caveola are specialized lipid raft that are structurally maintained by caveolin-1 to form flask-shaped invaginations. In addition to these coat protein caveolin, caveolae contains an inner lining of adapter proteins called cavins, which regulate caveolin. PTRF: Polymerase Ⅰ and transcript release factor.
