Recombinant Human EpCAM (C-Fc) is a research-use recombinant protein from ELK Biotechnology preparation representing EpCAM supplied as Lyophilized. Review the expression, purity, formulation and storage specifications below before selecting it for an assay or functional workflow.
Recombinant Human Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Gln24-Lys265 is expressed with a Fc tag at the C-terminus.
Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) is a signal type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the EPCAM family. EpCAM is composed of an extracellular domain with one thyroglobulin type-1 domain, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain. EpCAM is found on the surface of adenocarcinoma, but not on mesodermal or neural cell membranes. The EpCAM molecule has been shown to function as a homophilic Ca2+ independent adhesion molecule. It may act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium as an immunological barrier providing the first line of defense against infection. Defects in EPCAM are a cause of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer type 8 (HNPCC8) and diarrhea type 5 (DIAR5). EpCAM plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation; it up-regulates the expression of FABP5, MYC and Cyclin A and Cyclin E. It is highly and selectively expressed by undifferentiated embryonic stem cells.
| Reconstitution | Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100µg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. |

EPCAM identifies epithelial cell adhesion molecule in Homo sapiens (Human). This target record connects NCBI Gene 4072, UniProtKB P16422 and related ABMIUM catalogue products.
Biological function: EPCAM is an epithelial cell-surface protein implicated in epithelial barrier interactions and regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, including roles described in intestinal epithelium and embryonic stem-cell contexts.
