Endoglin (CD105) is not a specific selection marker for endothelial cells in human islets of Langerhans. Reply to Wheeler-Jones CPD, Clarkin CE, Farrar CE et al [letter]

Cell surface markers for mesenchymal stem cells related to the skeletal system: A scoping review

“…Regarding these proteins CD105 (endoglin) corresponds to a glycoprotein of the cell membrane, which is a receptor for transforming growth factor beta-1 and beta-3. It is mainly expressed in vascular endothelial cells, the syncytiumtrophoblast, and to a lesser extent in monocytes, fibroblasts and chondrocytes [ 145 ]. Additionally, CD90 (Thy-1 cell surface antigen THY1) is a protein that is bound to glycophosphatidylinositol, present in intercellular interactions [ 146 ].…”
