“…Fenestral diaphragms consist of PLVAP homodimers, the C termini of which form the central density of the diaphragm (reviewed by Stan et al, 1999). In addition to its presence in the diaphragms of endothelial fenestrae, PLVAP is also localized in stomatal diaphragms of caveolae, as well as in transendothelial channels and endothelial pockets (Hamilton et al, 2019;Milici et al, 1986;Stan, 2005;Stan et al, 1999Stan et al, , 2004. Caveolae, which are subcellular pits of the plasma membrane of regular shape and size (50-100 nm), are found in endothelial and other cell types, and are known to be involved in transcytosis (reviewed by Filippini et al, 2018;Stan, 2005).…”
