Als Endothel werden die zum Blut hingerichteten Zellen der innersten Gefäßwandschicht (Intima) bezeichnet. In ihrer Funktion als physiologische Barriere zum Gewebe exprimieren die CD 31- und vWF-positiven Zellen Stickstoffmonoxid (NO), das der Regulation des Tonus (Spannungszustand) der Gefäßmuskulatur dient. Eine Verletzung der Endothelzellschicht wird als mögliche Ursache für die Entstehung der Arteriosklerose vermutet. Das Endothel spielt ebenso eine wichtige Rolle bei Entzündungsprozessen. Verschiedene körpereigene oder mikrobielle Substanzen können das Endothel lokal aktivieren.
