Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) gene inactivation interferes with caveolae formation and causes a range
of cardiovascular and pulmonary complications in vivo. Recent evidence suggests that
blunted Cav-1/endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) interaction, which occurs specifically
in vascular endothelial cells, is responsible for the multiple phenotypes observed in Cav-1-
null animals. Under basal conditions, Cav-1 binds eNOS and inhibits nitric oxide (NO)
production via the Cav-1 scaffolding domain (CAV; amino acids 82–101). Although we have …
