Caveolae-associated protein 1 (Cavin1)

Plays an important role in caveolae formation and business. Essential for the formation of caveolae in most tissues (PubMed:18191225, PubMed:18840361, PubMed:18056712).

Core component of the CAVIN complex that's essential for recruitment of the complex to the caveolae in presence of calveolin-1 (CAV1) (PubMed:19546242). Essential for normal oligomerization of CAV1 (PubMed:23652019).
