Caveolin-1 mediates cellular distribution of HER2 and affects trastuzumab binding and therapeutic efficacy
Trastuzumab binding to tumor cells depends on the availability of HER2 at the cell membrane. Here the authors show that caveolin-1 (CAV1) regulates HER2 density at the cell membranes and that CAV1 gene knockdown or protein depletion via the cholesterol modulator lovastatin, increases trastuzumab bin...
