uniprot entry name :
EPCAM_HUMAN
specificity :
Mouse Ep-CAM; CD326 on mouse material
form :
Purified antibody containing PBS +0.1% sodium azide
storage stability :
Store at 4 degree C for one month, or in small aliquots at -20 degree C for longer periods. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody.
tested application :
Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Immunoprecipitation (IP). Western Blot (WB) not tested
app notes :
Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration, however as a guideline try at 0.5ug/ml for IHC on mouse material
other info1 :

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: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2p21. Cellular Component: cell surface; tight junction; basolateral plasma membrane; apical plasma membrane; integral to membrane; plasma membrane; lateral plasma membrane. Molecular Function: protein binding; protein complex binding. Biological Process: ureteric bud development; positive regulation of cell proliferation; positive regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; stem cell differentiation. Disease: Diarrhea 5, With Tufting Enteropathy, Congenital; Colorectal Cancer, Hereditary Nonpolyposis, Type 8
