MeSH definition : A membrane glycoprotein and ANGIOGENESIS FACTOR that is expressed by cells of the
VASCULAR ENDOTHELIUM; VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE; and MONOCYTES. It functions as a co-receptor
for TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA and modulates CELL ADHESION. Mutations in the
endoglin gene are associated with cases of HEREDITARY HEMORRHAGIC TELANGIECTASIA.;
