Facts about Caveolae-associated protein 4.
Contributes to proper membrane localization and stabilization of caveolin-3 (CAV3) in cardiomyocytes (PubMed:26497963). Induces RHOA activation and activates NPPA transcription and myofibrillar organization through the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway (PubMed:18332105).

Abundantly expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle (at protein level). Weaker expression in aorta and lung. In heart, expressed in cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle cells but not in other surrounding cells including vascular endothelial cells.
