Caveolae and caveolin-1 may modulate smooth muscle plasticity; leaves open targeted vascular interventions.
This review highlights the need for further investigation into the role of caveolae and membrane-associated actin-linking proteins in smooth muscle phenotype and function.
Halayko et al. (2005) conducted a review in Smooth muscle phenotype and function. The structural association of caveolae, actin, and the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex in smooth muscle phenotype and function remains poorly understood compared to skeletal and cardiac muscle.
