CD133 (Prominin-1) Rat anti-Canine, Mouse, Clone: 13A4, eBioscience™

Description

Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered. The CD133 (also named AC133) antigen is a 97 kDa glycoprotein, with 5 transmembrane domains, that shows up as a 120 kDa band on protein gels due to glycosylation. It is a cell surface marker expressed by immature hematopoietic stem cells but not mature blood cells. In addition to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, CD133 has been found to be a marker for other stem and progenitor cells including neural and embryonic stem cells. It has been shown to be expressed in cancers, including some leukemias and brain tumours, that may be derived from stem cells. Low level expression could also be detected in the kidney, pancreas, placenta, and fetal liver.
