EpCAM Protein (His tag)

Catalog No. ABIN7195602

Product Details

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

Protein Type: Recombinant

Biological Activity: Active

Origin: Human

Source: HEK-293 Cells

Purification tag / Conjugate: This EpCAM protein is labelled with His tag.

Purpose: Recombinant Human EpCAM/TROP-1 Protein (His Tag)(Active)

Sequence: Met 1-Lys265

Characteristics: A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Lys265) of human EpCAM (NP_002345.1) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Purity: > 96 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin Level: < 1.0 EU per μg as determined by the LAL method.

Biological Activity Comment: Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. When cells are added to EpCAM-His coated plates (1.25μg/mL, 100μL/well), approximately >40% will adhere specifically after 30 minutes at 37°C.

Background:

Background: Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM), also known as GA733-2 antigen, is a type â… transmembrane glycoprotein composed of an extracellular domain with two EGF-Like repeats and a cystenin-rich region, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain. It modulates cell adhesion and proliferation. Its overexpression has been detected in many epithelial tumours and has been associated with high stage, high grade and a worse survival in some tumour types. EpCAM has been shown to function as a calcium-independent homophilic cell adhesion molecule that does not exhibit any obvious relationship to the four known cell adhesion molecule superfamilies. However, recent insights have revealed that EpCAM participates in not only cell adhesion, but also in proliferation, migration and differentiation of cells. In addition, recent study revealed that EpCAM is the Wnt-beta-catenin signaling target gene and may be used to facilitate prognosis. It has oncogenic potential and is activated by release of its intracellular domain, which can signal into the cell nucleus by engagement of elements of the wnt pathway.Immune Checkpoint   Immunotherapy   Cancer Immunotherapy   Targeted Therapy
