Caveolin-1 is a palmitoylated 22 kDa membrane-associated protein in caveolae which are cholesterol-rich invaginations in the plasma membrane involved in vesicular transport and the regulation of lipid rafts and signal transduction. Caveolin-1 expression is dysregulated during cancer progression and exhibits both positive and negative effects on tum...
