Epcam Antibody / Mouse and Rat Reactive Antibody recognizes Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EPCAM), also known as EpCAM, CD326, and TACSTD1, a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of epithelial cells. EPCAM functions in cell-cell adhesion, epithelial integrity, tissue organization, and intracellular signaling, making it one of the most widely utilized markers for identification of epithelial cell populations. Because EPCAM is broadly expressed throughout epithelial tissues of multiple species, antibodies with demonstrated mouse and rat reactivity are valuable tools for studies of tissue development, epithelial differentiation, regenerative biology, and disease modeling in rodent systems.
EPCAM is localized primarily to the plasma membrane, where it contributes to maintenance of epithelial architecture through interactions between neighboring cells. In addition to its adhesive role, EPCAM participates in signaling pathways that regulate cellular proliferation, migration, differentiation, and survival. These biological activities allow EPCAM to influence epithelial homeostasis and tissue organization beyond its structural functions. As a result, EPCAM has become a widely accepted marker for distinguishing epithelial cells from mesenchymal, stromal, and hematopoietic populations in both normal and diseased tissues.
Mouse and rat models are extensively used to investigate epithelial biology, gastrointestinal physiology, mammary gland development, tissue regeneration, inflammatory disease, and cancer progression. Reliable detection of EPCAM in rodent tissues enables researchers to identify epithelial compartments, evaluate tissue architecture, and characterize epithelial responses to experimental treatments or genetic modifications. Antibodies validated in mouse and rat tissues provide particular value for translational studies that seek to connect findings from animal models to human epithelial biology.
EPCAM is also widely utilized in studies of epithelial-derived tumors. Expression is frequently retained in carcinomas originating from epithelial tissues, allowing investigators to identify tumor cells, assess epithelial differentiation, and evaluate epithelial lineage characteristics. In rodent disease models, EPCAM serves as a useful marker for monitoring epithelial cell populations during tumor development, tissue injury, repair processes, and regenerative responses. These applications have established EPCAM as an important research tool in both basic and translational investigations.
At NSJ Bioreagents, we provide highly validated antibodies for cancer research, developmental biology, regenerative medicine, and cell biology applications. Epcam Antibody / Mouse and Rat Reactive Antibody is useful for investigating epithelial cell populations, tissue organization, epithelial differentiation, and epithelial-derived disease models in rodent systems. Continued research into EPCAM is improving our understanding of epithelial tissue function, regeneration, and disease progression across multiple biological systems.
Explore our EpCAM Antibody / Epithelial Cell Marker Antibody page for additional validation data and applications involving epithelial cell identification, tissue organization, and epithelial-derived tumor research.
Optimal dilution of the Epcam Antibody / Mouse and Rat Reactive Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A mouse recombinant partial protein (amino acids E147-N189) was used as the immunogen for the Epcam antibody.
After reconstitution, the Epcam antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
