CD147 is ubiquitously expressed with the highest levels on metabolically active tumor cells and is able to form complex with three major types of transporters (CD98 heavy chain (CD98hc)-L-type amino acid transporter, ASCT2, and monocarboxylate transporters) as well as epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) [32]. This evidence concerns the gene SLC1A5 and neoplasm.
