About This Section
| EntrezGene summary for EPCAM: This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq] UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: TACD1_HUMAN, P16422Function: GA733 tumor-associated antigen gene family may function as growth factor receptorsGene Wiki entry for EPCAM (Tumor-associated_calcium_signal_transducer_1) |
