Anti-CD105 (Endoglin)

Endoglin (ENG, CD105) is an auxiliary receptor for the TGF-beta receptor complex, functioning in related signaling pathways (1,2). Endoglin is a transmembrane protein that exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. It is mainly expressed in vascular and connective tissues and in endothelial and stromal cells. Upregulated endoglin expression has been reported in wound healing, tumor vascularization, inflammatory tissues and in developing embryos (1-4). Mutations in endoglin have been found to be a causal factor of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), a disease characterized by malformation of vascular structure (5,6). The importance of this protein for normal and tumor vascular function makes it a good marker for endothelial cell proliferation as well as a potential therapeutic target in cancer (4-6). , Application: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot.
