Caveolae
In
biology
,
caveolae
(
Latin
for
little caves
) are small invaginations of the
plasma membrane
in many
cell
types, especially in
endothelial
cells. Some cell types, like
neurons
, completely lack caveolae. These flask-shaped structures are rich in
proteins
and
lipids
and are used for several functions in
signal transduction
(
Anderson, 1998
). They are also believed to play a role in
endocytosis
,
oncogenesis
, and the uptake of
pathogenic
bacteria
. The formation and maintenance of caveolae is primarily due to the
protein
caveolin
.
