Abstract

Caveolae are plasmalemmal invaginations of uncertain function. In view of the large number of hypotheses on caveolar functions, it is important to identify which components of caveolae are tissue specific and which are general. The only well-characterized major protein of caveolae is caveolin, which exists in three tissue-specific isoforms: caveolin-1, -2, and -3. Recently cav-p60 was characterized as a 60-kDa caveola-specific protein in adipocytes. The distributions of cav-p60 and caveolin isoforms in different rat muscle tissues were examined by immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy. Cav-p60 was present in caveolae of skeletal and heart muscle, in vascular and intestinal smooth muscle, and in adipocyte caveolae. Furthermore cav-p60 was present in endothelial cells and cells of perineural sheaths. Caveolin-1 and -2 were present in adipocytes, endothelial cells, and cells of perineural sheaths. In all kinds of vascular and intestinal smooth muscle, caveolin-1 and -2 were present at high levels, whereas caveolin-3 expression was low or undetectable, depending on the specific smooth muscle subtype. High levels of caveolin-3 were found only in caveolae and T tubules of skeletal and heart muscle. We conclude that cav-p60 is a highly specific marker of caveolae in many if not all cell types having caveolae.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 August 2015.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Cell and Tissue Research
#546
of 2,232 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,660
of 45,941 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cell and Tissue Research
#3
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,232 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 45,941 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
