Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncav-1 encodes one of two C. elegans caveolin orthologs; cav-1 is required for viability and Ras/MAP-kinase-dependent progression through the meiotic cell cycle; CAV-1 is expressed in the adult germ line and during embryonic development; CAV-1::GFP localizes to cortical granules that function to secrete chondroitin and mucin-like proteoglycans to the extracellular space following fertilization.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003590

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable molecular adaptor activity. Involved in Ras protein signal transduction; meiotic cell cycle; and regulation of egg-laying behavior. Located in cytoplasm and cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including germ cell; gonad arm; nervous system; pharynx; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including distal muscular dystrophy Tateyama type; glaucoma (multiple); lipodystrophy (multiple); and systemic scleroderma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CAV1 (caveolin 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkData extracted from Tang et al. (1997)
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
