CD133 Antibody / PROM1 (Extracellular Region)

CD133, also known as PROML1 or Prominin, is a stem cell antigen that may be useful for the selection and expansion of hematopoietic cells and may be used as a positive marker for the characterization of trophoblast cell lines. The human CD133 gene maps to chromosome 4p15.32 and encodes an 865 amino acid protein. The CD133 gene codes for a pentaspantransmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on primitive hematopoietic stem, progenitor, retinoblastoma, hemangioblasts and neural stem cells and developing epithelium. The 5-TM structure includes an extracellular N-terminus, two short intra- cellular...
