Reported biological context includes: Epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (EpCAM), also called 'epithelial specific antigen,' or ESA, and 'epithelial glycoprotein EGP40.' It is expressed exclusively on cells of epithelial origin, making it a useful epithelial cell marker and a surface marker for human and mouse embryonic stem cells. In epithelial tissues, active proliferation corresponds to increased EpCAM levels, whereas differentiation is associated with low levels of the protein.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpatial and single-cell approaches: imaging-based and cytometry workflows increasingly quantify heterogeneity and relocalization rather than only bulk abundance.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eInteraction-centric biology: IP-based enrichment and proteomics are widely used to define complexes, binding partners, and context-specific interactomes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWestern blot (WB): compare relative abundance\/isoform patterns across conditions and sample types; band shifts may reflect processing or post-translational modification.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcross these readouts, differences in signal intensity, localization, or complex enrichment are typically interpreted alongside sample-matched controls and independent evidence to distinguish regulation from technical variation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIsoforms, cleavage products, or post-translational modifications can alter apparent molecular weight and subcellular distribution; interpret bands and staining patterns in the context of expected biology and sample preparation.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and epitope conservation may affect binding; use matched positive controls and orthogonal evidence when comparing across organisms.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eControl concepts: include appropriate isotype and secondary-only controls (for imaging), and consider genetic perturbations (knockout\/knockdown\/overexpression) or independent antibodies targeting distinct epitopes to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpitope context is defined by the immunogen description; when available, align this with known domains, PTM sites, or family homology to anticipate potential cross-reactivity patterns. As a monoclonal antibody, binding is driven by a single epitope, which can support consistent recognition but may be sensitive to epitope masking by PTMs or conformational changes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - NCBI Gene search (EpCAM) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=EpCAM - Ensembl search (EpCAM) — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=EpCAM - PubMed search (EpCAM) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=EpCAM - Reactome pathway search (EpCAM) — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=EpCAM --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5 mg\/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg\/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53043243188589,"sku":"N1139-100UG","price":439.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.5 mg\/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg\/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide \/ 25 ug","offer_id":53043670647149,"sku":"N1139-25UG","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_9d849ba2-53b1-4f1c-8749-2d07f58c664c.jpg?v=1771934374","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/epcam-antibody-bha17103560","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
