Ep-CAM Antibody (323/A3) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Ep-CAM in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. Ep-CAM, also known as tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 1 and MK-1, is a monomeric membrane glycoprotein predominantly expressed in normal human epithelial tissues and various carcinomas, making Ep-CAM a significant marker for cancer research. Ep-CAM consists of 314 amino acids and exists in two forms, with the major form being more prevalent; both forms are affected by the amino-glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin, which reduces their expression. The extracellular domain of Ep-CAM features two epidermal growth factor-like repeats followed by a cysteine-poor region, which is crucial for adhesive properties, facilitating cell-cell interactions that are vital for maintaining tissue integrity. Given Ep-CAM′s overexpression in numerous carcinomas, anti-Ep-CAM antibody (323/A3) serves as a promising tool for both visualization and therapeutic intervention of solid tumors, highlighting Ep-CAM′s importance in cancer diagnostics and treatment strategies.
