Description (eCommerce)
CAV1 acts as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes and forms a stable heterooligomeric complex with CAV2 that targets to lipid rafts and drives caveolae formation. CAV1 also mediates the recruitment of CAVIN proteins to the caveolae and interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity. CAV1 is also thought to be involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation, as its binding to DPP4 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner  [taken from the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q03135].
Description (Vector)
The scaffolding protein encoded by this gene is the main component of the caveolae plasma membranes found in most cell types. The protein links integrin subunits to the tyrosine kinase FYN, an initiating step in coupling integrins to the Ras-ERK pathway and promoting cell cycle progression. The gene is a tumor suppressor gene candidate and a negative regulator of the Ras-p42/44 mitogen-activated kinase cascade. Caveolin 1 and caveolin 2 are located next to each other on chromosome 7 and express colocalizing proteins that form a stable hetero-oligomeric complex. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcripts encode alpha and beta isoforms of caveolin 1.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
