CD133/PROM1 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His)

CD133/PROM1 Protein is predicted to possess actinin binding activity, cadherin binding activity, and cholesterol binding activity. The protein is anticipated to be involved in various processes, including glomerular epithelial cell differentiation, photoreceptor cell maintenance, and retina morphogenesis in camera-type eyes. Predicted to be located in cellular components such as the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment, extracellular exosome, and photoreceptor outer segment membrane, CD133 is expected to be active in cellular components like the apical plasma membrane, microvillus, and prominosome. Additionally, it is predicted to be an integral component of the plasma membrane. CD133 is used in the study of diabetes mellitus and is implicated in human conditions such as cone-rod dystrophy 12 and retinitis pigmentosa 41. Notably, CD133 exhibits biased expression in tissues, with prominent levels observed in the lung, kidney, and eight other tissues, suggesting its diverse functional roles in these organs.
