Caveolin-3 (CAV3) is a muscle-specific protein present within the muscle cell membrane that affects signaling pathways, including the insulin signaling pathway. A previous assessment of patients with newly developed type 2 diabetes (T2DM) demonstrated that CAV3 gene mutations may lead to changes in protein secondary structure. A severe CAV3 P104L mutation has previously been indicated to influence the phosphorylation of skeletal muscle cells and result in impaired glucose metabolism. In the pres ...[more]
