Product details:
Abcam's CD105 (Endoglin) Human ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an
in vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human CD105 in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human CD105 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and CD105 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-Human CD105 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CD105 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.
Optimisation may be required with urine samples.

CD105 also known as endoglin or the CD105 marker is a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 180 kDa. It is a component of the TGF-beta receptor complex and exists in endothelial cells where it is abundantly expressed. Expression of CD105 is higher in proliferating cells particularly in the vasculature. You can also find it in tissues involved in the formation and remodeling of blood vessels such as during angiogenesis.
Biological function summary
Endoglin functions in the regulation of angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. It plays a significant role in mediating cellular responses to TGF-beta signaling influencing endothelial cell proliferation and migration. While not part of a larger structural complex endoglin interacts with receptors and signaling molecules important for vascular development and repair processes. This involvement aids in maintaining endothelial integrity and function under various physiological conditions.
Pathways
CD105 participates in the TGF-beta signaling and angiogenesis pathways. In these pathways it acts in conjunction with other proteins like TGF-beta receptors which play roles in cell differentiation proliferation and apoptosis. The interaction between CD105 and TGF-beta signaling regulates numerous cellular mechanisms impacting angiogenesis and cellular responses to environmental changes.
CD105 has links to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and certain cancers. In HHT mutations in the endoglin gene alter vascular structure leading to the formation of abnormal blood vessels. Oncologically overexpression of CD105 is present in tumor angiogenesis aiding in the progression of certain cancers. Other proteins like VEGF and TGF-beta closely interact with endoglin influencing disease progression and presenting potential targets for therapeutic intervention.
