Rabbit anti-Mouse, Rat PROM1 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-PROM1 antibody
Anti-PROM1 antibody
Background: PROM1(Prominin 1), also called CD133, is a glycoprotein. Maw et al.(2000) noted that D4S1601 and D4S3048, which are located on human chromosome 4p15.3-p15.2, map within intronic sequences of the PROML1 gene. Torrente et al.(2004) reported that a subpopulation of circulating cells expressing AC133, a well-characterized marker of hematopoietic stem cells, also expresses early myogenic markers. Singh et al.(2003) prospectively isolated a CD133-positive cell subpopulation from human brain tumors that exhibited stem cell properties in vitro. However, the true measures of cancer stem cells are their capacity for self renewal and exact recapitulation of the original tumor.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
CD133: Binds cholesterol in cholesterol-containing plasma membrane microdomains. Proposed to play a role in apical plasma membrane organization of 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. Interacts with CDHR1 and with actin filaments. Isoform 1 is selectively expressed on CD34 hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in adult and fetal bone marrow, fetal liver, cord blood and adult peripheral blood. Isoform 1 is not detected on other blood cells. Isoform 1 is also expressed in a number of non-lymphoid tissues including retina, pancreas, placenta, kidney, liver, lung, brain and heart. Found in saliva within small membrane particles. Isoform 2 is predominantly expressed in fetal liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, and heart as well as adult pancreas, kidney, liver, lung, and placenta. Isoform 2 is highly expressed in fetal liver, low in bone marrow, and barely detectable in peripheral blood. Isoform 2 is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells and in epidermal basal cells. Expressed in adult retina by rod and cone photoreceptor cells. Belongs to the prominin family. 7 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The PROM1 prom1 (Catalog #AAA176243) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-PROM1 antibody reacts with Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's PROM1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PROM1 prom1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PROM1, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
