purity :
Antigen-specific Affinity Chromatography.
form :
Supplied as solution form in 0.01M PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.05% Proclin-300, 50% glycerol.
concentration :
0.3 mg/ml
storage stability :
Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 4°C for frequent use. Aliquot and store at -20°C for 12 months. Stability Test: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
tested application :
WB; IHC; ICC; IP.
app notes :
Western blotting: 0.5-2 u/mL;1:150-600. Immunohistochemistry: 5-20 ug/mL;1:15-60. Immunocytochemistry: 5-20 ug/mL;1:15-60. Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user

ncbi summary :
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. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
uniprot summary :
EPCAM: a single-pass type I membrane protein of the EPCAM family. 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. Expressed in almost all epithelial cell membranes but not on mesodermal or neural cell membranes. Found on the surface of adenocarcinomas including pancreatic carcinoma. May be a marker of cancer stem cells. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p21. Cellular Component: apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; integral to plasma membrane; lateral plasma membrane; plasma membrane; tight junction. Molecular Function: protein binding; protein complex binding. Biological Process: positive regulation of cell proliferation; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; stem cell differentiation. Disease: Colorectal Cancer, Hereditary Nonpolyposis, Type 8; Diarrhea 5, With Tufting Enteropathy, Congenital
