Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Caveolin-3 antibody - Caveolae Marker (AB2912)

Immunohistochemistry was performed on normal biopsies of deparaffinized mouse lymph node tissue. To expose target proteins heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Tissues were then probed at a dilution of 1/200 with a rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizing Caveolin-3 ab2912 or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.

Supplementary information

Caveolin-3 also referred to as 'caveolin' 'caveolae' and 'CAV3' is a protein with an approximate mass of 17 kDa. It acts as a structural component of caveolae small invaginations in the plasma membrane. Caveolin-3 is expressed majorly in muscle cells including cardiac skeletal and smooth muscle tissues. As a distinguishing marker for caveolae it plays an essential role in the formation and stabilization of these structures.
Biological function summary

Caveolae perform vital functions in cellular signaling and endocytosis. Caveolin-3 assists in various signaling pathways within muscle cells and interacts with other caveolae markers to facilitate signal transduction. It often forms a complex with other caveolin proteins such as caveolin-1 creating an environment conducive for the embedding of signaling molecules. This protein also modulates the trafficking and function of certain ion channels and receptors impacting muscle physiology.

Pathways

Caveolin-3 significantly influences pathways concerned with muscle function and signal transduction. In particular it involves itself with the nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway and beta-adrenergic signaling both critical to the contractile functions of muscle tissues. It closely interacts with proteins such as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and components of the G-protein coupled receptor family indicating its pivotal role in mediating physiological responses to stimuli.

Caveolin-3 mutations have been associated with a range of muscle-related disorders including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These conditions often arise due to alterations in muscle cell signaling and integrity. Caveolin-3 also shares connections with proteins like dystrophin an important player in maintaining muscle cell structure and its dysfunction can exacerbate these muscular disorders. Understanding these interactions offers insights into potential therapeutic targets for managing related pathologies.

Target data

May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes. Interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity. May also regulate voltage-gated potassium channels. Plays a role in the sarcolemma repair mechanism of both skeletal muscle and cardiomyocytes that permits rapid resealing of membranes disrupted by mechanical stress (By similarity). Mediates the recruitment of CAVIN2 and CAVIN3 proteins to the caveolae (PubMed : 19262564).
