Word: cavin Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From cav(eola) + -in. Coined in J. Vinten et al. (2005), “Identification of a major protein on the cytosolic face of caveolae”, in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes, volume 1717, number 1, pages 34-40: 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. . 1. A type of protein that is involved in forming the caveola of many vertebrate cells. Example: The observation that lipid rafts and caveolae were highly enriched in PS in the cytoplasmic leaflet of the membrane (Pike et al. 2002) nicely dovetails with recent findings that all cavin proteins that are required for caveola biogenesis bind PS. Example: The cavin family consists of four proteins now termed cavins 1e4 and encoded by the PTRF, SDPR, SRBC, and MURC genes, respectively. Interestingly, none of the early studies about each cavin charcterized it as a caveolar protein.
