The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the space outside of an organism’s cells that provides structural support to the cells. In humans this is a defining feature of connective tissue made up of collagen the most abundant protein. The ECM is made up of fibrous proteins and carbohydrate polymers.
Apart from collagen, the ECM is also constructed of Elastin which enables tissue elasticity for example in lungs and blood vessels, Fibronection, proteins that connect cells with collagen fibres that facilitate cell movement and Laminin, proteins that form web like structures that provide tensile strength.

EPCAM; CD326 Antibody- Rat Anti-EPCAM
Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) is a 40 kDa cell surface antigen. This antigen has been identified independently by a number of groups, and has been known by a variety of names. Several monoclonal antibodies have been raised against EpCAM, many of which have been described as tumour specific molecules on carcinomas. EpCAM is a Type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein. It is expressed on the basolateral membrane of cells by the majority of epithelial tissues, with the exception of adult squamous epithelium and some specific epithelial cell types including hepatocytes and gastric epithelial cells. EpCAM expression has been reported to be a possible marker of early malignancy, with expression being increased in tumour cells, and de novo expression being seen in dysplastic squamous epithelium

Fibronectin Antibody - Mouse Anti-Human Fibronectin
Fibronectins bind cell surfaces and various compounds including collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin. Fibronectins are involved in cell adhesion, cell motility, opsonization, wound healing, and maintenance of cell shape.Anastellin binds fibronectin and induces fibril formation. This fibronectin polymer, named superfibronectin, exhibits enhanced adhesive properties. Both anastellin and superfibronectin inhibit tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Anastellin activates p38 MAPK and inhibits lysophospholipid signaling

Neurocan Antibody- Mouse Anti-Neurocan
Neurocan is the major soluble chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan in the brain It is thought to play a functional role in axonal growth and guidance and in the establishment of specific neural pathways during embryonic brain development Neurocan expression in the brain is developmentally regulated Early on the major form of neurocan consists of a 245kD core protein with approximately two chondroitin sulfate glycosoaminoglycan chains of 22kD each Later neurocan comprises a 180kD core protein Both forms of neurocan contain only chondroitin 4-sulfate glycosoaminoglycan chains By virtue of their high expression at sites of neural damage and trauma chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans including neurocan are thought to inhibit successful nerve regeneration
