Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) protein plays a very important role in the central nervous system, and is closely related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Through literature review, this article summarizes the present research status of Cav-1 protein in the field of AD from three aspects: the relationship between Cav-1 gene and AD; the relationship of Cav-1 protein with learning and memory; the relationship of Cav-1 protein with amyloid β-protein and Tau protein. And the aim of this paper is to provide a new thought and evidence for exploring the mechanism of AD via Cav-1 protein.
