ab133484 stained MCF cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed for 10 minutes at room temperature and then incubated in 1% BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3 M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1 hour at room temperature to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab133484 at 1/100 dilution) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (pseudo-colored green) was Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (ab150081) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (pseudo-colored red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43 μM for 1 hour at room temperature.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab133484).

Supplementary information

Caveolin-2 often referred to as CAV2 is a 20-22 kDa integral membrane protein and an important component of caveolae small invaginations in the plasma membrane. It is mainly expressed in adipocytes endothelial cells pneumocytes and some smooth muscle cells. CAV2 works together with other caveolins primarily caveolin-1 to form these flask-shaped invaginations which play roles in various cellular processes.
Biological function summary

Caveolin-2 participates in modulating cellular functions such as signal transduction cholesterol homeostasis and endocytosis. As part of the caveolae complex it cooperates with caveolin-1 to regulate lipid raft domains influencing the movement and function of molecules within the cell. The presence of caveolin-2 helps maintain the caveolae structure and is involved in cellular responses to mechanical stress.

Pathways

Caveolin-2 is implicated in the regulation of insulin signaling and the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway. In the insulin signaling pathway it forms complexes with caveolin-1 and other proteins like IRS-1 affecting glucose uptake in cells. In the Ras-MAPK pathway caveolin-2 interacts with signaling molecules associated with the pathway modulating cell proliferation and survival.

Caveolin-2 has been linked to cancer development and pulmonary disorders. Its interactions with caveolin-1 and other signaling proteins in cancer cells can influence tumor growth and metastasis. Additionally altered expression of caveolin-2 affects pulmonary disorders such as emphysema by impacting endothelial cell function. Understanding these connections helps in exploring potential therapeutic interventions.

Target data

May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes. Interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity. Acts as an accessory protein in conjunction with CAV1 in targeting to lipid rafts and driving caveolae formation. The Ser-36 phosphorylated form has a role in modulating mitosis in endothelial cells. Positive regulator of cellular mitogenesis of the MAPK signaling pathway. Required for the insulin-stimulated nuclear translocation and activation of MAPK1 and STAT3, and the subsequent regulation of cell cycle progression (By similarity).
