摘要
Caveolin作为细胞质膜微囊——Caveolae的标志蛋白,参与Caveolae的形成、定位,并具有介导膜泡运输、维持细胞胆固醇稳态和调控信号转导等功能.近年来发现,Caveolin与脑功能的生理或病理变化有关,在神经发育、突触可塑性以及神经退行性疾病中起着重要的作用.结合最新的研究进展和前期实验结果,简单介绍Caveolin的结构和功能,并对其在脑功能中的调控作用作一阐述与展望.
Caveolins are a family of plasmalemmal vesicles caveolae-associated integral membrane proteins and a marker protein of caveolae involved in the formation and localization that associated with vesicular transport, cellular cholesterol homeostasis and signal transduction. Recent years, strong experimental evidences indicated that caveolins play a pivotal role in the brain function such as neural development, synaptic plasticity and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent progress on studies of the structure and functions of caveolins was simply summarized. The regulatory role of caveolins in the brain functions has been reviewed and expected.
