- Function
- May act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosal infection. Plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation. Up-regulates the expression of FABP5, MYC and cyclins A and E. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15195135, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15922867, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19785009, ECO:0000269|PubMed:200649... (Source: Uniprot)

HI Disease:
- congenital diarrhea 5 with tufting enteropathy Monarch
HI Evidence Comments:
While deletions in the 3' end of EPCAM (typically exons 8 and 9 as well as intergenic material between EPCAM and MSH2) are associated with Lynch Syndrome cancers, this is due to epigenetic regulation of nearby MSH2 and the methylation status of MSH2 promoter. There is little to no evidence that EPCAM haploinsufficiency by deletions or truncations in the 5' end of EPCAM and otherwise not affecting MSH2 have any resulting impact on Lynch Syndrome cancers or other cancer phenotypes. Thus, EPCAM is not itself a dosage sensitive gene. In addition, biallelic (autosomal recessive) mutations in EPCAM are associated with DIARRHEA 5, WITH TUFTING ENTEROPATHY, CONGENITAL (OMIM:613217).
