CD24-positive, CD-133-positive, vimentin-positive proximal tubular cell
A CD24-positive, CD-133-positive, vimentin-positive cell found scattered throughout a renal proximal tubule and that may participate in tubular regeneration. Compared to other proximal tubular cell types, this cell contains less cytoplasm, fewer mitochondria and no brush border.

Term info
After acute tubular injury, this cell type becomes more numerous. In healthy rat kidneys, this cell is not detectable, whereas after unilateral ureteral obstruction (renal injury), it may appear de novo, arguing against the notion that this cell type represents a pre-existing progenitor cell population. In at least one study, data indicate that this cell type represents transiently dedifferentiated tubular cells involved in regeneration.
