EPCAM ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein epithelial cell adhesion molecule, which is encoded by the EPCAM gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is believed to 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. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 314 residues, a mass of 34.9 kDa, and is a member of the EPCAM protein family. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane. The protein has been noted to be post-translationally glycosylated. The EPCAM gene has been associated with the disease, Diarrhea. Other alias names for this target include BerEp4, DIAR5, EGP-2, EGP314, EGP40, ESA, HNPCC8, and Ber-Ep4.
There are EPCAM ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 15.6 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
