Caveolae are distinctive, flask-shaped structures within the cell membrane that play critical roles in cellular signal transduction, ion homeostasis, and mechanosensation. These composed of caveolin protein family enriched cholesterol sphingolipids, creating a unique lipid microdomain. contribute to functional regulation various channels through both physical interactions involvement complex signaling networks. Ion localized caveolae involved processes such as generation propagation action potentials, responses mechanical forces, metabolism. Dysregulation function has been linked development diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative metabolic syndrome, cancer. This review summarizes channel caveolae, their pathological implications, offering new insights into potential therapeutic targets for channel-related diseases.
