Abstract excerpt
Endoglin is a cell-surface adhesion protein as well as a coreceptor for transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). It is located on endothelial and few other cells, but also found on certain tumor cells. Brain metastatic breast tumor cells derived from the MDA-MB-231 cell line heavily express endoglin in contrast to the corresponding parental ones. To clarify whether this determines their invasive phenotype, we...
