CD133 marks cancer progenitor cells and has a role in cancer progression.
ATase1/ATase2 regulates CD133 expression and trafficking by acetylating lysine residues positioned on the first extracellular loop of CD133.
ATase1/ATase2-mediated lysine acetylation is a form of CD133 protein regulation.
CD133 regulation and function can be targeted by inhibiting ATase1 or ATase2.
