Scientific BackgroundMay play a role in cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis (PubMed:24556617). Binds cholesterol in cholesterol-containing plasma membrane microdomains and may play a role in the organization of the apical plasma membrane in epithelial cells. During early retinal development acts as a key regulator of disk morphogenesis. Involved in regulation of MAPK and Akt signaling pathways. In neuroblastoma cells suppresses cell differentiation such as neurite outgrowth in a RET-dependent manner (PubMed:20818439). Ref: uniprot.org.
A - Western Blot analysis of CD133 expression in MCF7 whole cell lysate (40 µg/lane) at 0.5 µg/mL primary antibody concentration. A band at 130 kDa is observed, consistent with the expected molecular weight of glycosylated CD133/PROM1. B - Immunohistochemistry analysis of CD133 expression in human tonsil tissue.
