| Overview |
| Anti-Prominin-1 MicroBeads have been developed for the isolation of mouse Prominin-1+ neural progenitor cells. |

Background information
Prominin-1 is a glycoprotein with close structural similarity to its human ortholog, CD1331. Prominin-1 expression has been demonstrated on cells of different embryonic and adult tissues, including ES-derived committed and early progenitor cells2, the developing3 and postnatal4 central nervous system, kidney tubules3, and cells of the hematopoietic system3. In the developing nervous system prominin-1 is predominantly expressed on neuroepithelial cells and other epithelia. In the postnatal brain, prominin-1 expression has been found in areas of neurogenesis, such as the subventricular zone (SVZ). Prominin-1 is preferentially localized to plasma membrane protrusions of the apical membrane.5
