Biolegend, 112202, Purified anti-mouse CD326 (Ep-CAM) Antibody, 100μg

Ep-CAM (CD326) mediates calcium-independent homophilic cell to cell adhesion. It may also function as a growth factor receptor. It is thought to be involved in maintaining cells in position during proliferation. Expression of Ep-CAM seems to correlate inversely with the level of E-cadherin (CD324). Ep-CAM is considered important in tumor biology.
