ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a novel purified TGF-.beta.-binding glycoprotein, endoglin, an isolated nucleic acid molecule that encodes an amino acid sequence corresponding to the TGF-.beta.-binding glycoprotein, soluble endoglin-derived polypeptide, and fragments thereof. A pharmaceutical composition which comprises the endoglin-derived polypeptide purified by applicants or produced by applicants' recombinant methods and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is further provided as well as methods of treating patients which comprise administering to the patient the pharmaceutical composition of this invention.
