Molecular cloning of human caveolin 31The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper were submitted in the EMBL, Gen Bank and DDBJ Nucleotide Sequence Database under the accession number Y14747.1

AbstractWe isolated a full-length cDNA encoding human caveolin 3, which is 72% and 59% homologous to human caveolin 1 and caveolin 2, respectively. Human caveolin 3 protein contains the `caveolin signature sequence' and the 33 amino acids spanning intramembrane domain common to all caveolins. Northern blot analysis indicates that the caveolin 3 transcript is 1.6 kb in size and exclusively detectable in muscle tissue
