Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-EpCAM antibody [Ber-EP4] (AB7504)

ab7504 staining EpCAM in Human liver tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% serum for 1 hour at 20°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation (microwave) in a commercial retrieval buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/250 in 1% serum) for 12 hours at 4°C. A Biotin-conjugated Horse anti-mouse IgG polyclonal (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody.

Specificity

Epithelial specific antigen is cell surface glycoprotein and is broadly distributed in epithelial cells and displays a highly conserved expression in carcinomas. Epithelial specific antigen has been know to play an important role as tumor-cell marker in lymph nodes from patients with esophageal carcinoma. Epithelial specific antigen can be used to distinguish between basal cell and basosquamous carcinomas and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

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.

Target data

May act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosal infection. Plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation. Up-regulates the expression of FABP5, MYC and cyclins A and E.
