General description

Anti-Caveolin-1 is developed in rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region at the N-terminus of human caveolin-1 conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as immunogen. Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a multifunctional scaffolding protein, that has three exons. It is located on chromosome 7q31.
Caveolin, a 20-24-kDa integral transmembrane protein, has been identified as a principal component of caveolae membranes. Caveolin (also termed VIP21) exists in several isoforms termed caveolin-1, caveolin-2 and caveolin-3. Caveolin-1 (20-22 kDa) can exist as two isoforms, caveolin-1α and -1β due to alternative splicing of the mRNA.

Specificity

The sequence is highly conserved in many species, e.g., identical in rat, mouse, bovine, and dog caveolin-1. The sequence is not found in caveolin-2 or caveolin-3.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to a region at the N-terminus of human caveolin-1 (amino acids 2-20).

Application

Anti-Caveolin-1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • indirect immunofluorescence
  • in confocal microscopy
  • western blotting

Biochem/physiol Actions

Caveolin family members function as scaffolding proteins to organize and concentrate specific lipids such as cholesterol and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) and lipid modified signaling molecules within caveolae membranes. Staining of caveolin-1 in immunoblotting is specifically inhibited with caveolin-1 immunizing peptide (human, amino acids 2-20).†
Caveolin-1 is expected to play a major role in the growth and evolution of cancer. It participates in glucose metabolism. It may also participate in angiogenesis. Cav-1 helps to control the expression of glucose transporters.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
