Western blot - Anti-CD133 antibody - Stem Cell Marker (AB19898)

Anti-CD133 antibody ab19898 detects a band corresponding to the expected size of CD133 in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lysate using Western Blotting. It is likely that the band runs higher than the predicted MW of CD133 due to glycosylation of CD133. In mouse neural stem cell and mouse embryonic stem cell lysate this ~110 kDa band was not detected but a reproducible band of ~30 kDa was seen. This could represent a cleavage product but it may also be that the ~30 kDa band represents non-specific binding by ab19898. However, ab19898 has been shown to recognise mouse neural stem cells using ICC. Blocking using the immunising peptide removed both of these bands.

Supplementary information

CD133 also known as Prominin-1 is a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 120 kDa. This protein stands out due to its expression in various stem and progenitor cells including those of the neural hematopoietic and epithelial lineages. CD133 is recognized for its distinct five transmembrane domains and two large extracellular loops. Researchers commonly use CD133 as a cell surface marker to identify stem and progenitor cells. The significance of CD133 extends to immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot applications where it is a popular target for detection and analysis.
Biological function summary

CD133 is involved in maintaining the cellular architecture and signaling processes. It plays a role in cellular differentiation and proliferation while acting as a part of larger protein complexes on the cell surface. This protein is notable as it contributes significantly to the regulation of stem cell properties supporting the growth and repair in various tissues. Anti-CD133 antibodies are valuable tools in studying these functions due to their specificity in targeting this marker.

Pathways

CD133 participates in cellular signaling and transport pathways vital for intercellular communication and homeostasis. It interacts within pathways related to cell polarity and asymmetric division both essential for tissue development and maintenance. CD133 is associated with proteins like CD133/1 and CD133/2 which further highlights its involvement in these complex biological networks and on pathways such as the Wnt signaling pathway which regulates gene expression associated with cell proliferation and differentiation.

Several studies indicate a strong relationship between CD133 expression and certain cancers such as glioblastoma and colorectal cancer. In these cases CD133 serves not only as a marker but also as an indicator of the presence of cancer stem cells which are capable of tumor initiation and maintenance. Furthermore researchers have identified connections between CD133 and other proteins such as c-Met (cMab) within these pathological contexts suggesting interactions that could contribute to disease progression and offering potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Target data

May play a role in cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis (PubMed : 24556617). Binds cholesterol in cholesterol-containing plasma membrane microdomains and may play a role in the organization of the apical plasma membrane in epithelial cells. During early retinal development acts as a key regulator of disk morphogenesis. Involved in regulation of MAPK and Akt signaling pathways. In neuroblastoma cells suppresses cell differentiation such as neurite outgrowth in a RET-dependent manner (PubMed : 20818439).
