Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human CD105, different from the related mouse sequence by twelve amino acids.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 95 kDa; calculated MW: 70578 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Endoglin; Endoglin. 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. Functional note: Major glycoprotein of vascular endothelium. Involved in the regulation of angiogenesis. May play a critical role in the binding of endothelial cells to integrins and/or other RGD receptors. Acts as TGF-beta coreceptor and is involved in the TGF- beta/BMP signaling cascade. Required for GDF2/BMP9 signaling through SMAD1 in endothelial cells and modulates TGF-beta1 signaling through SMAD3. . Reported localization: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Expression/tissue context: Endoglin is restricted to endothelial cells in all tissues except bone marrow.
Research relevance and current trends
- Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling: Researchers commonly examine how ENG (Endoglin) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Neurogenesis: Researchers commonly examine how ENG (Endoglin) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Neurology Process: Researchers commonly examine how ENG (Endoglin) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative ENG (Endoglin) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
