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
