Description: Epithelial Marker Antigen is a 265-400kDa glycoprotein. The alpha subunit has cell adhesive properties. It can act both as an adhesion and an anti-adhesion protein. EMA may provide a protective layer on epithelial cells against bacterial and enzyme attack. The beta subunit contains a C-terminal domain, which is involved in cell signaling, through phosphorylations and protein-protein interactions. In immunohistochemical assays, it superbly stains routine formalin/paraffin carcinoma tissues. Antibody to EMA is useful as a pan-epithelial marker for detecting early metastatic loci of carcinoma in bone marrow or liver.

Immunogen: Human milk fat globule membranes were used as the immunogen for this EMA antibody. This mAb reacts with the DTRP epitope in the tandem repeats.

Storage: Store the EMA antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
