Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
CD105/Endoglin Antibody detects transfected levels of mouse CD105/Endoglin protein.
Species Reactivity: Mouse
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Pro430 of mouse CD105/Endoglin. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.
Background
CD105/Endoglin is an auxiliary receptor for the TGF-β receptor complex, functioning in related signaling pathways (1,2). CD105/Endoglin is a transmembrane protein that exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. It is mainly expressed in vascular and connective tissues and endothelial and stromal cells. Upregulated CD105/Endoglin expression has been reported during wound healing and tumor vascularization, and in inflammatory tissues and developing embryos (1-4). Mutations in 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).
