Figure 8 Potential molecular pathways associated with CD133. The phosphorylation of the tyrosine 828 is involved in the binding to p85 (PI3K regulatory subunit) and in the subsequent activation of PI3K/Akt pathway, which, finally, promotes the self-renewal and tumor formation of CSCs. CSCs: Cancer stem cells.
