EpCAM Antibody

EpCAM (Epithelial cell adhesion molecule) is a cell surface glycoprotein that promotes interaction between intestinal epithelial cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes at the mucosal epithelium as a defense mechanism against mucosal infection. EpCAM is also involved in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation. EpCAM has also been designated as TACSTD1 (tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 1) and CD326 (cluster of differentiation 326). EpCAM is a pan-epithelial differentiation antigen that is expressed on almost all carcinomas.
