Interpolated concentrations of native EpCAM in human HT-29 cell based on a 25 μg/mL extract load, human HCT-116 cell based on a 4 µg/mL extract load and colon tissue based on a 400 µg/mL extract load.

The concentrations of EpCAM were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the EpCAM standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean EpCAM concentration was determined to be 4,578 pg/mL in HT-29 cell extract, 2,825 pg/mL in HCT-116 cell extract and 2,391 pg/mL in colon extract.

Interpolated concentrations of native EpCAM in human HT-29 cell culture supernatant and urine samples.

The concentrations of EpCAM were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the EpCAM standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows : HT-29 cell culture supernatant 75%, urine 50%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean EpCAM concentration was determined to be 5,467 pg/mL in neat HT-29 cell culture supernatant and 947 pg/mL in neat urine.

Product details

Human EpCAM ELISA Kit (ab264632) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of EpCAM protein in cell culture supernatant, cell lysate, urine, and cell culture media. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human EpCAM with 30 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is a single-pass type I plasma membrane glycoprotein that may act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosal infection. EpCAM plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation.

Supplementary information

EpCAM also known as epithelial cell adhesion molecule is a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of around 40 kDa. Alternative names include CD326 and TACSTD1. This protein is expressed on the surface of most epithelial cells and plays a role in cell adhesion. It is involved in maintaining the integrity of epithelial tissues by mediating homotypic cell-cell interactions which are important for the structure and function of tissues.
Biological function summary

EpCAM facilitates signaling pathways that impact cellular processes like proliferation and differentiation. It is not a part of a larger protein complex but interacts directly with other cellular machinery to transmit intracellular signals. EpCAM influences stem cell behavior and is important in tissue homeostasis assisting in both normal regenerative processes and wound healing.

Pathways

EpCAM participates in regulatory mechanisms involving the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway which affects gene expression and cell fate decisions. Through its action EpCAM modulates components like E-cadherin which is important for cell adhesion and the maintenance of the epithelial layer. It indirectly influences pathways relating to MYC a transcription factor that regulates cell cycle progression and apoptosis.

EpCAM is associated with various types of cancer including colorectal and breast cancer. Its overexpression often correlates with aggressive cancer phenotypes and poor prognosis. Besides cancers EpCAM mutations can lead to congenital tufting enteropathy a rare condition affecting intestinal epithelial structure and function. Aberrant EpCAM expression affects β-catenin levels impacting cellular pathways linked to tumor progression and epithelial integrity.
