Molecular Characterization of the MouseTem1/endosialin Gene Regulated by Cell Density in Vitro and Expressed in Normal Tissues in Vivo

Abstract excerpt

Human tumor endothelial marker 1/endosialin (TEM1/endosialin) was recently identified as a novel tumor endothelial cell surface marker potentially involved in angiogenesis, although no specific function for this novel gene has been assigned so far. It was reported to be expressed in tumor endothelium but not in normal endothelium with the exception of perhaps the corpus luteum. Here we describe the cDNA and...
