Ep-CAM Antibody (EBA-1): sc-66020

Ep-CAM Antibody (EBA-1) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects epithelial cell adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM) of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and flow cytometry (FCM). Ep-CAM (EBA-1) antibody is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule, also known as tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 1 and MK-1, is a crucial monomeric membrane glycoprotein predominantly expressed in normal human epithelial tissues and various carcinomas. Human Ep-CAM gene encodes a 314 amino acid protein that exists in two forms, a major and a minor variant, with the latter being reduced upon treatment with the amino-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin. Ep-CAM plays a significant role in cell-cell adhesion, which is vital for maintaining tissue integrity and regulating cellular signaling pathways. Ep-CAM overexpression in numerous carcinomas makes this protein a promising target for both visualization and therapeutic strategies in human solid tumors. Ep-CAM structure includes an extracellular domain with two epidermal growth factor-like repeats followed by a cysteine-poor region, which is essential for adhesive properties, thereby highlighting Ep-CAM importance in both normal physiology and cancer pathology.
