Abstract---Endoglin (sEng)/CD105 is a transmembrane auxiliary
receptor for transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b) it works as a
non-signaling coreceptor of the TGF-b modulating its responses. The
main finding of these study that, in obese groups (PCOS and control),
there were higher values of TGF-b1 and the lower values of plasma
sEng. Even more importantly.
Keywords---Endoglin (sEng)/CD105, polycystic ovary syndrome,
women.
Introduction
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common gynecological disease in
women at reproductive age, which is characterized by metabolic and endocrine
abnormalities, as well as chronic inflammation )Seyyed Abootorabi et al., 2018).
The most common risk factors for the progress of PCOS include family history of
PCOS, fast food diet habits, lack of physical exercise, body mass index and waist
circumference (Begum et al., 2017).
Endoglin (CD105) is a 180-kDa homodimeric glycoprotein composed of two
95 kDa disulfide-linked subunits. It has a transmembrane structure and
functions as a component of the transforming growth factor-β receptor complex.
Endoglin is highly expressed on proliferating endothelial cells, A soluble form of
endoglin (sEng) is found in the circulation under normal and pathologic
conditions (Bock, et al,. 2011).
Endoglin (sEng)/CD105 is a transmembrane auxiliary receptor for transforming
growth factor beta (TGF-b) it works as a non-signaling coreceptor of the TGF-b
modulating its responses. There are a number of reports suggesting that soluble
endoglin may be regarded as a biomarker of endothelial dysfunction, for instance,
