General description

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) or cluster of differentiation 326 (CD326) is encoded by the 14 kb GA733-2 gene mapped to human chromosome 2p21. Human EpCAM expression is restricted to epithelia of colon, small intestine, lung, kidney, thymus, liver, pancreas, stomach. It is also expressed in several cancers, progenitor and stem cells. CD326 is a transmembrane glycoprotein characterized with an ectodomain, one transmembrane domain, and a 26 residual cytoplasmic domain.
The mouse monoclonal antibody VU-1D9 recognizes an epitope within EGF-like domain I of CD326 / EpCAM, a marker of epithelial lineages. This antibody strongly stains various normal epithelial cells and carcinomas.

Application

Suggested working dilution for immunoblotting is 1-4 μg/mL of sample. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM, CD326) is a transmembrane glycoprotein, involved in several cellular functions, such as epithelial-specific intercellular cell–adhesion, cell signaling, migration, proliferation and differentiation. EpCAM is a dominant surface antigen mapped on human colon carcinoma. It has potential as a diagnostic marker for several carcinomas, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). EpCAM is considered to be a potential target for cancer treatment. EpCAM with the help of components of wnt signal transduction pathway plays a vital role in stem cell signaling.
