“…In some cell types, expression of caveolin-1 has been shown to be necessary for plasma membrane targeting of CD36, and disruption of caveolae may effect some CD36 dependent functions (Ring, Le Lay, Pohl, Verkade, & Stremmel 2006,Vistisen, Roepstorff, Roepstorff, Bonen, van Deurs, & Kiens, 2004,Frank, Lee, Park, Tandon, Scherer, & Lisanti,. 2004,Pohl, Ring, Korkmaz, Ehehalt, & Stremmel, 2005,Kincer, et al, 2002, Dorahy, Lincz, Meldrum, & Burns, 1996. The partitioning of CD36 to specific plasma membrane domains may facilitate interaction with signaling partners that are essential to CD36 dependent responses.…”
