CD133 (Prominin-1, Prominin1, Prominin 1, Antigen AC133, Prominin-like Protein 1, CD133, PROM1, PROML1, MSTP061)

CD133, originally known as AC133. CD133 is a glycoprotein also known in humans and rodents as Prominin 1 (PROM1). Currently the function of CD133 is unknown. It is a member of pentaspan transmembrane glycoproteins (5-transmembrane, 5-TM), which specifically localize to cellular protrusions. CD133 is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells,[3] endothelial progenitor cells, glioblastoma, neuronal and glial stem cells, various pediatric brain tumors, as well as adult kidney, mammary glands, trachea, salivary glands, placenta, digestive tract, testes, and some other cell types.||Applications: |Suitable for use in Western Blot.
