Cav-p60, a specific and ubiquitous caveolar protein, was[…]identified as similar to a GeneBank entry annotated mouse polymerase transcript release factor (PTRF)[…]The results show that in a large number of cell types, PTRF is essentially located to caveolae, and that each caveola harbors many copies of the protein. Consequently, we suggest the name Cavin [sic – not capitalised elsewhere in the article] for this protein.
