Overview of mammalian caveolin protein products
| Mammalian Protein | Length (AA) | % Similar (identical) to Human Cav-1 | % Similar (identical) to Human Cav-2 | Expression Patterns | References |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cav-1 | 178 | 100 (100) | 40 (59) | Ubiquitous; Cav-1 and -2 are co-expressed and are highest in adipocytes, endothelia, smooth muscle cells, and type I pneumocytes | Scherer et al., 1996,1997 |
| Cav-2 | 162 | 58 (38) | 100 (100) | ||
| Cav-3 | 159 | 85 (65) | 39 (60) | Muscle-specific; primarily expressed in Skeletal and cardiac myocytes | Parton 1996; Song et al. 1996b; Tang et al. 1996 |
Approximate similarity and identity are expressed relative to the human caveolin-1 and -2 proteins.
