CD133/Prominin-1-Mediated Autophagy and Glucose Uptake Beneficial for Hepatoma Cell Survival

CD133/Prominin-1 is a pentaspan transmembrane protein that has been frequently used as a biomarker for cancer stem cells, although its biological function is unclear. The aim of our study was to explore the intrinsic functions of CD133 membrane protein in hepatoma cells during autophagy, apoptosis,...
