Target Details for EpCAM

Target: EpCAM (EPCAM) (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EPCAM))

Alternative Name: CD326 / EPCAM / TACSTD1 (EPCAM Products)

Background: Epithelial is a transmembrane glycoprotein (40 kDa) also known as ESA or epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM). This protein is expressed on basolateral cell surface in most simple epithelia and vast majority of cancers.
