| Gene Symbol | EPCAM |
| Gene Full Name | epithelial cell adhesion molecule |
| Background | EpCAM is 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] |
| Function | EpCAM 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. Plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation. Up-regulates the expression of FABP5, MYC and cyclins A and E. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Cell surface |
| Research Area | Controls and Markers antibody; Epithelial Marker antibody; Circulating Tumor Cells BioMarker antibody |
| Calculated MW | 35 kDa |
| PTM | Hyperglycosylated in carcinoma tissue as compared with autologous normal epithelia. Glycosylation at Asn-198 is crucial for protein stability. |
