The cancer stem cell marker CD133 interacts with plakoglobin and controls desmoglein-2 protein levels.

The cancer stem cell marker CD133 interacts with plakoglobin and controls desmoglein-2 protein levels.

The pentaspan membrane glycoprotein CD133 (also known as prominin-1) has been widely used as a marker for both cancer and normal stem cells. However, the function of CD133 has not been elucidated.
