products description :
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Caveolin-2(CAV2) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human, Mouse, Rat. Background: Caveolin-2 is a protein related to caveolin-1 which is derived caveolin-enriched membranes. CAV2 and CAV1 are similar in most respects and they differ in their functional interactions with heterotrimeric G proteins. Caveolin-1 and caveolin-2 are expressed in neuronal cells. Caveolin-2 was upregulated in response to neuronal cell injury. The CAV2 gene is mapped to 7q31.1-q31.2. The CAV1 gene contains 3 exons, while the human CAV2 gene contains 2 exons. The boundary of the last exon of CAV1 and CAV2 are analogous, suggesting that they arose through gene duplication. The genes encoding murine caveolin-1 and -2 are colocalized within the A2 region of mouse chromosome 6.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a major component of the inner surface of caveolae, small invaginations of the plasma membrane, and is involved in essential cellular functions, including signal transduction, lipid metabolism, cellular growth control and apoptosis. This protein may function as a tumor suppressor. This gene and related family member (CAV1) are located next to each other on chromosome 7, and express colocalizing proteins that form a stable hetero-oligomeric complex. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene. Additional isoforms resulting from the use of alternate in-frame translation initiation codons have also been described, and shown to have preferential localization in the cell (PMID:11238462).
