Target Details for EpCAM

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

Alternative Name: TACSTD1 (EPCAM Products)

Background: EGP40 is a 40-43 kDa transmembrane epithelial glycoprotein, also identified as epithelial specific antigen (ESA), or epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM). It is expressed on baso-lateral cell surface in most simple epithelia and a vast majority of carcinomas. This antibody has been used to distinguish adenocarcinoma from pleural mesothelioma and hepatocellular carcinoma. This antibody is also useful in distinguishing serous carcinomas of the ovary from mesothelioma.

Molecular Weight: 40-43kDa
