Endosialin, also called tumor endothelial marker-1 or CD248, is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is suggested to play a role in inflammation as well as tumor progression. Endosialin expression was also reported to be upregulated in human atherosclerotic lesions. However, no study has reported blood endosialin levels in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
