Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, approximately 40 kDa in size, expressed in epithelial and epithelial-derived cancers including lung, gastric, colorectal, and other forms of epithelial tumors (Zhu et al., 2021; Zhao et al., 2023). Here, EPCAM is linked to cancer.
