Product details:
Human Caveolin-1 SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Caveolin-1 protein in Cell Lysate, Tissue extracts. Quantitate Human Caveolin-1 with 0.15 ng/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA
technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA
technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips, available in 10-pack (10 x 96-well plates)
-Also available in a fully validated 384-well format.

Caveolin-1 also known as Cav-1 is an integral membrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. It functions mechanically as a scaffolding protein in caveolae which are tiny invaginations in the plasma membrane of many cell types. These structures are particularly abundant in adipocytes endothelial cells and muscle cells. Caveolin-1 anchors itself to the cell membrane and plays a role in organizing and concentrating certain signaling molecules.
Biological function summary
Caveolae provide a platform for various signaling pathways and involve caveolin-1 as a major component. Caveolin-1 interacts with multiple signaling molecules such as G-protein coupled receptors and Src family kinases to modulate signal transduction. This protein forms part of a larger caveolar complex contributing to cellular processes including endocytosis and lipid regulation. Its presence as a marker in caveolae highlights its significance in cellular functions.
Pathways
Caveolin-1 influences the insulin signaling and nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathways. In the insulin signaling pathway caveolin-1 interacts with insulin receptors to modulate glucose uptake. It also associates with eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) in the NO signaling pathway impacting vascular function. These relationships highlight its role in cellular communication and regulatory mechanisms within the human body.
Caveolin-1 is involved in cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In cancer altered expression of caveolin-1 contributes to tumor progression while in cardiovascular diseases it affects endothelial function through its interaction with eNOS. The connection of caveolin-1 to proteins like insulin receptors and eNOS reveals its critical influence in these conditions providing potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
