A Role for Endoglin as a Suppressor of Malignancy during Mouse Skin Carcinogenesis
1 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
Endoglin is a membrane glycoprotein that acts as a coreceptor for transforming growth factor-beta. We and others have previously suggested a function of endoglin as a tumor suppressor in epithelial cancer. Here, we study the expression of endoglin during chemical mouse skin carcinogenesis. We find that shedding of membrane endoglin, allowing the secretion of a soluble endoglin form, is a late event associated...
