This gene encodes an protein that localizes to the caveolae, which are small domains on the inner cell membranes. This protein plays a role in vesicle trafficking and cell morphology. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016],function:May act as a scaffolding protein within caveolar membranes, functionally participating in formation of caveolae or caveolae-like vesicles.,similarity:Belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. Flotillin subfamily.,subcellular location:Membrane-associated protein of caveolae. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.,subunit:Heterooligomeric complex of flotillin-1 and flotillin-2 and caveolin-1 and caveolin-2.,
