Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables several functions, including enzyme binding activity; oxysterol binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of programmed cell death; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of heart contraction. Acts upstream of with a negative effect on lactation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel diameter maintenance; blood vessel morphogenesis; and negative regulation of signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including acrosomal membrane; caveola; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of caveolar macromolecular signaling complex. Colocalizes with focal adhesion. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; cerebral cortex; lung; paraxial mesenchyme; and tooth. Used to study Alzheimer's disease; breast cancer; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); lipodystrophy (multiple); primary open angle glaucoma; primary pulmonary hypertension; and systemic scleroderma (multiple). Orthologous to human CAV1 (caveolin 1).
