Membrane microdomains or "lipid rafts" have emerged as essential functional modules of the cell, critical for the regulation of growth factor receptor-mediated responses. Herein we describe the dichotomy between caveolin-1 and caveolin-2, structural and regulatory components of microdomains, in modulating proliferation and differentiation. Caveolin-2 <i>potentiates</i> while caveolin-1 <i>inhibits</i> nerve growth factor (NGF) signaling and subsequent cell differentiation. Caveolin-2 does not ap ...[more]
