|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | EPCAM |
| Gene ID | 4072 |
| Accession # | P16422 |
| Source | HEK293 cells |
| Appearance | Lyophilized |
| Physical Form Description | Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Normally Mannitol or Trehalose is added as protectants before lyophilization. |
| Molecular Weight | This protein contains a poly histidine tag at C-terminus and has a calculated MW of 29 kDa after removal of signal peptide. The predicted N-terminus is Gln24. In DTT-reduced SDS-PAGE, rh EpCAM protein migrates as 33-36 kDa poly peptide due to glycosylatio |
| Purity by SDS-PAGE | ≥95% |
| Endotoxin Level | <1 EU/μg by LAL method |
| Biological Activity | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized recombinant human Cathepsin V at 10 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind biotinylated EpCAM. The EC50 of biotinylated EpCAM is 50-70 ng/mL. |
| Reconstitution Instructions | 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. |
| Handling | Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. |
| Storage Conditions | -20°C |

| USAGE | For Research Use Only! Not to be used in humans |
Details
EpCAM is also known as CO171A,; EGP; EGP40; GA7332; KSA; M4S; MIC18; MK1; TROP1; hEGP2, and is a pan-epithelial differentiation antigen that is expressed on almost all carcinomas as 17-1A(mAb) antigen. Its constitutional function is being elucidated. It is intricately linked with the Cadherin-Catenin pathway and hence the fundamental WNT pathway responsible for intracellular signaling and polarity. The epithelial cell adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM) is known to express in most epithelial malignancies and was reported as a tumor marker or a candidate of molecular targeting therapy. Ep-CAM cross signaling with N-cadherin involves Pi3K, resulting in the abrogation of the cadherin adhesion complexes in epithelial cells was reported. And epithelial cell adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM) recently received increased attention as a prognostic factor in breast cancer.
