Target: CD105.
Clone: MJ7/18.
Specificity: MJ7/18 activity is directed against mouse CD105 (endoglin).
Purification method: This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.
Antigen Distribution: CD105 is alternatively spliced, resulting in both long (L-endoglin) and short (S-endoglin) forms. The predominant isoform, L-endoglin, promotes the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells via enhanced ALK1-Smad1/5 signaling and is the presumed isoform when not specified in the literature. In contrast, S-endoglin enhances ALK5-Smad2/3 signaling. Endoglin has specific receptor-ligand interactions between type I and type II TGF-β superfamily receptors when binding TGF-β superfamily ligands. Mouse CD105 has three separate regions of similarity to TGF-β receptor III but does not contain the RGD tripeptide found in human CD105.
Background: CD105 (endoglin) is a TGF-β superfamily co-receptor that promotes angiogenesis, is involved in endothelial integrin-mediated mural cell and leukocyte adhesion, antagonizes TGF-β mediated ERK activation, is essential to the immune response of macrophages, regulates trophoblast differentiation and invasion during pregnancy, promotes T-cell proliferation, and regulates differentiation and collagen expression in myofibroblasts.
Immunogen: MJ7/18 was produced by immunizing rats with inflamed mouse skin and selecting for reactivity with endothelial cells. MJ7/18 predominantly stains vascular endothelial cells and is a marker of mouse endothelium.
