| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cavoelae are striated membrane invagination (around 70nm in diameter) at the plasma membrane except for neurons, which involved in endocytosis, transcytosis, and fatty acid uptake. Freeze-replica electron microscopy would be useful for caveolar analysis due to their fine structures on the cytoplasmic surface of plasma membrane. This research focused caveolar base structures by electron microscopy.
