Scope note: ESTRUCTURAS DE LA MEMBRANA NUCLEAR endocíticas/exocíticas ricas en glicoesfingolípidos, colesterol, y proteínas de membrana ancladas a lípidos que funcionan en procesos de ENDOCITOSIS (potocitosis), transcitosis, y TRANSDUCCIÓN DE SEÑAL. Las caveolas presentan diversas formas, desde cavidades abiertas hasta vesículas cerradas. Las cubiertas caveolares están constituidas por CAVEOLINAS.

Scope note: Endocytic/exocytic CELL MEMBRANE STRUCTURES rich in glycosphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid-anchored membrane proteins that function in ENDOCYTOSIS (potocytosis), transcytosis, and SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION. Caveolae assume various shapes from open pits to closed vesicles. Caveolar coats are composed of CAVEOLINS.
