Description | Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Epithelial cell adhesion molecule(EPCAM) detection. 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. |
Immunogen | Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human EPCAM (147-189aa ELKHKAREKPYDSKSLRTALQKEITTRYQLDPKFITSILYENN), different from the related mouse sequence by fifteen amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by sixteen amino acids. |
