EpCAM Detection Device

This gene sequence includes both of EpCAM Binding Docks; BBa_K772001 and BBa_K772002. Thus, this composite part is the main component of CTC (Circulating Tumor Cell) detection system. Docks include an EpCAM (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule) antigen binding domain, OmpA transmembrane protein (dock) and TEV protease C or N terminus. Hopefully, after binding to the EpCAM antigen, TEV protease domains will fix together to form the full structure in order to activate the signalling pathway. (For more information: BBa_K772003) EpCAM is an natural antigen which is found high significantly in the cases of some breast and colorectal cancer subtypes. On the upstream region of protein sequences, there are a constitutive pLac promoter and appropriate RBS.
