Additional info: CD109 is a GPI-anchored member of the alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) and complement family of proteins. It is expressed on activated T-cells, platelets, hematopoietic stem cells, megakaryocyte precursors, vascular endothelial cells, basal and myoepithelial cells of secretory glands, and squamous cell carcinomas. A 170-180 kDa precursor is autocatalytically reduced to 150 kDa and 120 kDa forms. On keratinocytes CD109 binds TGF-beta and associates with TGFbeta RI and TGF-beta RII, resulting in inhibition of TGF-beta signalling. Polymorphisms of CD109 include the platelet-specific Gov antigen and the blood group ABH antigens. Alloantibodies directed against these antigens result in unsuccessful platelet transfusions, neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia, and post-transfusion purpura.
