products description :
Background/Introduction: CD133, originally known as AC133.1 CD133 is a glycoprotein also known in humans and rodents as Prominin 1 (PROM1).2 It is a member of pentaspan transmembrane glycoproteins (5-transmembrane, 5-TM), which specifically localize to cellular protrusions. Most of the PROM1 gene is contained in 23 exons distributed over more than 50 kb of genomic sequence.3 CD133 is expressed in hematopoietic stem cells, 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. CD133-positive tumor cells represent the cellular population that confers glioma radioresistance and could be the source of tumor recurrence after radiation. Targeting DNA damage checkpoint response in cancer stem cells may overcome this radioresistance and provide a therapeutic model for malignant brain cancers4.
