NCIt definition : Caveolin-1 (178 aa, 20 kDa) is encoded by the human CAV1 gene. This protein plays
a role in caveolae formation and function.;
NCIt note : Caveolins interact with G proteins and link alpha integrin to FYN tyrosine kinase,
SHC, GRB2 and the RAS-ERK pathway in promoting cell cycle progression.;
