Did you mean Caveolin-1?

GlossaryCaveolin-1

protein involved in cell membrane structure and signaling

Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the formation of caveolae, which are small invaginations on the cell membrane involved in various cellular processes such as signal transduction and endocytosis. It is also important in regulating lipid metabolism and maintaining cellular structure. In the context of hair biology, alterations in Caveolin-1 expression have been linked to conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs.
