EpCAM is a Mr 40,000, type I transmembrane glycoprotein that consists of two epidermal growth factor-like extracellular domains, a cysteine-poor region, a transmembrane domain, and a short cytoplasmic tail. EpCAM is encoded by the GA733-2 gene located on the long arm of chromosome 4. EpCAM has been described by various names, including those associated with monoclonal antibodies specific for the cell surface antigen (MH99, AUA1, MOC31, 323/A3, KS1/4, GA733, and HEA125) and cDNA clones used to define the antigen KS 1/4, EGP, EGP40, and GA733-2.
