What is a Caveolae?
['Caveolae are flask-shaped plasma membrane invaginations formed by constitutive caveolin proteins and regulatory cavin proteins. ', 'Caveolae are membrane subdomains that function as signaling platforms, endocytic carriers, sensors of membrane tension, and mechanical stress, as well as in lipid homeostasis', 'Caveolae are cholesterol-rich microdomains that form mechanically deformable invaginations of the sarcolemma.', 'Caveolae are specialized membrane lipid rafts coated with caveolin scaffolding proteins,', ' Caveolae are membrane microdomains where important signalling pathways are assembled and molecular effects transduced.', 'Caveolae, plasma membrane invaginations of 60-80nm in diameter, are a subset of lipid rafts enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids.', 'The efficiency of youth is built upon cellular signaling scaffolds that provide tight and coordinated signaling. Lipid rafts are one such scaffold of which caveolae are a subset.', 'Caveolae are submicroscopic, plasma membrane pits that are abundant in many mammalian cell types', 'Caveolae are non-clathrin invaginations of the plasma membrane in most cell types', 'Caveolae are cholesterol and sphingolipids rich subcellular domains on plasma membrane.', 'Caveolae are an abundant feature of the plasma membrane of many mammalian cell types, ']
