Humaan EpCAM/TROP-1-antilichaam

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein mediating Ca2+-independent homotypic cell-cell adhesion in epithelia. EPCAM is also involved in cell signaling, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Additionally, EPCAM has oncogenic potential via its capacity to upregulate c-myc, e-fabp, and cyclins A & E. Since EPCAM is expressed exclusively in epithelia and epithelial-derived neoplasms, EPCAM can be used as diagnostic marker for various cancers. It appears to play a role in tumorigenesis and metastasis of carcinomas, so it can also act as a potential prognostic marker and as a potential target for immunotherapeutic strategies.

Can be stored at 2°C to 8°C for 1 week. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C to -80C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

Liquid in. Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) with 0.02% Sodium Azide, 10% glycerol

The antibody has been tested by ELISA, Western blot and ICC/IF analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results.
