Function | 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21737454, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23300529}. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Endoglin is restricted to endothelial cells in all tissues except bone marrow. |
