Biological background
CAV1 (protein: P2X purinoceptor 1) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes. Interacts ly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity (By similarity). Involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)- mediated T-cell activation. Its binding to DPP4 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3- dependent manner. Recruits CTNNB1 to caveolar membranes and may regulate CTNNB1-mediated signaling through the Wnt pathway. . Reported cellular localization context: Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Membrane, caveola; Peripheral membrane protein. Membrane raft. Colocalized with DPP4 in membrane rafts. Potential hairpin- like structure in the membrane. Membrane protein of caveolae. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in muscle and lung, less so in liver, brain and kidney.

- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts in marker distributions.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate CAV1 antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect CAV1 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect CAV1 in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize CAV1 by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Quantify CAV1-positive cells by flow cytometry in single-cell suspensions
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 70 kDa; calculated MW: 20472 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
