human ... EPCAM(4072)

General description

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) or cluster of differentiation 326 (CD326), is encoded by the 14kb GA733-2 gene mapped to human chromosome 2p21. Human CD326 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.

Immunogen

Small cell lung carcinoma cell line H69

Application

The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 1e6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 mL) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cluster of differentiation 326 (CD326) is a transmembrane glycoprotein, involved in several cellular functions, such as epithelial-specific intercellular cell–adhesion, cell signaling, migration, proliferation and differentiation. CD326 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). CD326 is considered to be a potential target for cancer treatment. CD326 with the help of components of wnt signal transduction pathway plays a vital role in stem cell signaling.

The Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) is expressed virtually on normal epithelia in vertebrates. Among different species, the amino acid sequence of EpCAM is highly homologous, indicating that EpCAM is an evolutionary conserved protein. However, differences in the expression pattern

The epithelial-specific cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) modulates cell adhesion and proliferation. Its overexpression correlates with tumor cell proliferation, and EpCAM is a therapeutic target. In the February issue of Nature Cell Biology, Maetzel et al. demonstrate that proliferative responses to

Initially discovered as a dominant antigen on colon carcinomas, the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) was considered a mere cell adhesion molecule and reliable surface-binding site for therapeutic antibodies. Recent findings can better explain the relevance of EpCAM's high-level expression

Gynecologic oncology, 103(2), 483-488 (2006-05-09)
Currently available clinical and molecular factors provide still an insufficient prognostic and predictive assessment for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). To identify a potential molecular target and prognostic/predictive factor for EOC, we investigated in a retrospective study the prognostic
