Normal role description: CD109 is a GPI-linked cell surface antigen expressed by CD34+ acute myeloid leukemia cell lines, T-cell lines, activated T lymphoblasts, endothelial cells, and activated platelets. It funtions to negatively regulate signalling of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) -- a tumour suppressor. Mutations in this gene have been found in colon and ovarian tumors.
