Epithelial Antigen (Ep-Cam) [clone MOC-31], anti-human

Description: Ep-CAM is a highly conserved type I transmembrane glycoprotein and is expressed on most normal and malignant epithlial cells. Ep-CAM is also known as epithelial cell adhesion molecule or MOC31, Ber-EP4. It is detected at the membrane/cytoplasm of the majority of epithelial tissues (all simple, pseudo-stratified and transitional epithelial), with the exception of the adult squamous epithelium and some epithelium-derived cells, such as hepatocytes, epidermal keratinocytes, gastric parietal cells, myoepithelial cells, and thymic cortical epithelium. In tumors, Ep-CAM is over expressed by the majority of human epithelial carcinomas, except hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC).
