Endoglin promoter (Endothelial cells) in pDRIVE expression plasmid

Endoglin (CD105) is a transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) coreceptor expressed mainly on endothelial cells and preferentially in the neovasculature associated with hypoxia such as ischemic tissues and tumors.

The endoglin promoter lacks consensus TATA and CAAT boxes but contains Sp1, NF-κB and TGF-β binding sites [1]. These sites are located in a -400/+341 fragment upstream of the endoglin gene which is sufficient to confer endothelial specificity.

Regulation of endoglin occurs at the transcriptional level; basal endoglin transcription is highly dependent on Sp1 and is stimulated by TGF-β and hypoxia [2].

The endoglin promoter has been used to target gene expression to the vasculature in transgenic animals [3].
