Scientific background: |
CD133, is a glycoprotein also known in humans and rodents as Prominin 1 (PROM1). It is the founding member of pentaspan transmembrane glycoproteins (5-transmembrane, 5-TM), which specifically localizes to cellular protrusions. The gene of CD133 is located in 4p15.3. And most of the CD133 gene is contained in 23 exons distributed over more than 50 kb of genomic sequence. CD133 is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, glioblastomas, neuronal and glial stem cells and some other cell types. |
