Figure 11 Schematic representation of epithelial cell adhesion molecule activation. Cleavage of full length epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) generates EpEx (extracellular domain of EPCAM) and EpICD (EpCAM Intracellular Domain) fragments. EpICD binds the scaffold protein FHL2 and joins to the transcriptional regulators β-catenin and, within the nucleus, interacts with LEF, binds to DNA and induces gene activation.
