Function | Modulates the morphology of formed caveolae in cardiomyocytes, but is not required for caveolar formation. Facilitates the recruitment of MAPK1/3 to caveolae within cardiomyocytes and regulates alpha-1 adrenergic receptor-induced hypertrophic responses in cardiomyocytes through MAPK1/3 activation. Contributes to proper membrane localization and stabilization of caveolin-3 (CAV3) in cardiomyocytes (By similarity). Induces RHOA activation and activates NPPA transcription and myofibrillar organization through the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway (PubMed:18332105). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Cell membrane, sarcolemma {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0}. Membrane, caveola. Cell membrane. Note=In cardiomyocytes, accumulates in the Z-line of the sarcomere. In vascular smooth muscle cells, detected diffusely throughout the cytoplasm. Localizes in the caveolae in a caveolin-dependent manner. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AMM0} |
