Anti-CD105 / Endoglin

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Endoglin (Osler-Rendu-Weber syndrome 1), CD105, is a type I membrane glycoprotein located on cell surfaces and is a part of the TGF beta receptor complex. Its gene is mapped to human chromosome 8. The protein consists of a homodimer of 180 kDA with disulfide links. It has been found on endothelial cells, activated macrophages, fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Endoglin has a role in the development of the cardiovascular system and in vascular remodeling and has been found to be elevated in pregnant women who subsequently develop preeclampsia. Protein function: Vascular endothelium glycoprotein that plays an important role in the regulation of angiogenesis (PubMed:10625534). Required for normal structure and integrity of adult vasculature. Regulates the migration of vascular endothelial cells (PubMed:17540773). Required for normal extraembryonic angiogenesis and for embryonic heart development (PubMed:10625534). May play a role in the binding of endothelial cells to integrins. Acts as TGF-beta coreceptor and is involved in the TGF-beta/BMP signaling cascade that ultimately leads to the activation of SMAD transcription factors (PubMed:23300529). Required for GDF2/BMP9 signaling through SMAD1 in endothelial cells and modulates TGFB1 signaling through SMAD3. [The UniProt Consortium]
