Target Details for EpCAM

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

Alternative Name: CD326 / EPCAM / TACSTD1

Background: CD326 / EpCAM (also known as ESA, EGP40, EGP-2, KSA1/4, CO17-1A, GA733-2, MOC31, Ber-EP4) is a 40 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein serving as adhesion molecule in the basolateral membranes in a variety of epithelial cells. CD326 mediates calcium-independent homotypic cell-cell adhesions. CD326 over-expression has been detected in many epithelial tumours and is often associated with bad prognosis. It has been used for diagnostics of (pre-) malignancies at early stages.Synonyms: Adenocarcinoma-associated antigen, EGP314, Ep-CAM, Epithelial cell adhesion molecule, Epithelial glycoprotein 314, GA733-2, KS 1/4 antigen, KSA, M1S2, M4S1, MIC18, Major gastrointestinal tumor-associated protein GA733-2, TROP1, Trop-1, Tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 1
