Biochem/physiol Actions: | Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is intricately linked with the cadherin-catenin pathway and hence the fundamental WNT pathway responsible for intracellular signaling and polarity. The protein has several cellular functions, like epithelial-specific cell-adhesion, cell signaling, migration, proliferation and differentiation. It is expressed in most epithelial malignancies (like epithelial ovarian cancer) and was reported as a tumor marker or a candidate of molecular targeting therapy. EpCAM cross signaling with N-cadherin involves phosphoinositide-3-kinase (Pi3K), resulting in the abrogation of the cadherin adhesion complexes in epithelial cells. |
General description: | Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a pan-epithelial differentiation antigen that is expressed on almost all carcinomas as 17-1A (mAb) antigen. The gene encoding EpCAM is localized on human chromosome 2p21. |
Physical form: | Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Normally Mannitol or Trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. |
Reconstitution: | Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in sterile PBS, pH 7.4 to a concentration of 50 μg/mL. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. For extended storage, it is recommended to store at -20°C. |
