Background |
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein mediating Ca2+-independent homotypic cell–cell adhesion in epithelia. This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. |
Gene Name |
EPCAM |
Application Details |
Western blot, 0.1-0.5μg/ml Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Section), 0.5-1μg/ml, By Heat Immunofluorescence, 2.5μg/ml Flow Cytometry, 1-3μg/1x106cells ELISA , 0.1-0.5μg/ml |
Application Notes |
Tested Species: In-house tested species with positive results. By Heat: Boiling the paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH6.0, for 20mins is required for the staining of formalin/paraffin sections. Other applications have not been tested. Optimal dilutions should be determined by end users. |
Clonality |
Polyclonal |
Concentration |
Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml. |
Contents |
Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg NaN3. |
Immunogen |
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human EPCAM, different from the related mouse sequence by fifteen amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by sixteen amino acids. |
Purification |
Immunogen affinity purified. |
Cross-reactivity |
No cross-reactivity with other proteins |
Storage |
Store at -20˚C for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4˚C for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20˚C for six months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Reconstitution |
Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml. |
Gene Full Name |
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule |
Molecular Weight |
34932 MW |
Protein Function |
May act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosal infection. Plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation. Up-regulates the expression of FABP5, MYC and cyclins A and E.. |
Subcellular Localization |
Lateral cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction, tight junction. Colocalizes with CLDN7 at the lateral cell membrane and tight junction.. |
Tissue Specificity |
Highly and selectively expressed by undifferentiated rather than differentiated embryonic stem cells (ESC). Levels rapidly diminish as soon as ESC's differentiate (at protein levels). Expressed in almost all epithelial cell membranes but not on mesodermal or neural cell membranes. Found on the surface of adenocarcinoma.. |
