Human TROP-2, also called tumor associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2), GA733-1, gp50 and T16, is a type I cell surface glycoprotein that is highly expressed on human carcinomas. It was originally identified as an antigen present on human gastrointestinal tumors and is the second of two members of this family. The other family member is GA733-2, also called EpCAM, TROP-1, 17-1A, gp40 and KSA. The TROP-2 gene is unique in that it contains no introns. A study of these two genes suggested that TROP-2 was the result of a retroposition of the EpCAM gene. TROP-2 and EpCAM share approximately 49% amino acid identity and approximately 67% similarity. Human and mouse TROP-2 share 87% similarity. The human TROP-2 protein consists of a putative 26 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, a 248 aa extracellular domain, a 23 aa transmembrane region and a 26 aa cytoplasmic domain. TROP-2 is capable of transducing an intracellular calcium signal and may play a role in tumor growth. It also has adhesive functions.

Scientific Data Images for Human TROP‑2 Antibody
Detection of Human TROP‑2 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of NCI-N87 human gastric carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human TROP-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF650) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for TROP-2 at approximately 45-50 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.
Detection of TROP‑2 in PC‑3 Human Cell Line by Flow Cytometry.
PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line was stained with Goat Anti-Human TROP-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF650, filled histogram) or control antibody (Catalog # AB-108-C, open histogram), followed by Phycoerythrin-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0107).
TROP‑2 in Human Brain.
TROP-2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (frontal cortex) using Goat Anti-Human TROP-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF650) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Downregulation of Trop2 inhibits cell invasion. (A) The invasive capability of Hep2 cells transfected with NC or Trop2 siRNA (Trop2-S1) was measured at the indicated time points using the Transwell assay. (B) The number of cells on the underside of the chamber was counted. NC, negative control, siRNA, small interfering RNA.

Knockdown of Trop2 expression in Hep2 cells by siRNA. (A) Trop2 mRNA expression in Hep2 cells was examined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction 48 h after transfection with Trop2 siRNA or NC, as indicated (*P<0.05, **P<0.001). (B) Western blot analysis of Trop2 protein expression in Hep2 cells 48 h following transfection with siRNA as indicated. siRNA, small interfering RNA; NC, negative control.

Trop2 Loss Promotes ErbB3 Activation in HNSCC CellsA. Immunofluorescence images of Trop2 staining (green) in SCC1 HNSCC cells after stable knockdown using short hairpins targeting the Trop2 cDNA. Nuclei are counterstained with 4′6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). B. Results of a phosphorylated receptor tyrosine kinase antibody array demonstrating elevated p-ErbB3 in lysates from Trop2 knockdown SCC1 cells. The exposures were normalized to the control spots (four corners), which exhibit equal intensities. C&D. Representative immunoblots showing hyperactivation of ErbB3 and AKT caused by Trop2 loss in SCC1 and SCC25 HNSCC cells. Two short hairpins targeting distinct regions of the Trop2 cDNA were used. E. Reduction of ErbB3 activity after ectopic expression of an RNAi-resistant Trop2 cDNA in Trop2 knockdown SCC1 cells. Arrow points to the lower band which is the correct size for Trop2. F. Ectopic expression of a Flag-epitope tagged Trop2 cDNA in SCC1 cells suppresses basal ErbB3 and AKT activation. Control is an empty vector. Relative increases in phosphoproteins in control versus experimental groups were quantified by photodensitometry after normalization to total ErbB3 or AKT protein which served as an internal controls. Immunoblots are representative of at least three independent experiments. Significance was measured by student's t test, * (P<0.05), ** (P<0.01), *** (P<0.001).

Differential expression of GFR alpha 1 and SALL4 in As and Apr spermatogonia. Expression of GFR alpha 1 was limited to short chains of Aundiff and more restricted than expression of SALL4. (A–D) Examples of GFR alpha 1 and SALL4 expressing spermatogonial clones in whole mount seminiferous tubules. Scale bars = 10 µm. Panel D was modified from [1] with permission. (E) Quantitative evaluation of GFR alpha 1 and SALL4 expression in clones of undifferentiated spermatogonia. Among As spermatogonia, 50% of cells co-expressed both markers, but substantial populations of SALL4-only and GFR alpha 1-only cells were also observed. The number of SALL4-only cells increased in longer chains, when GFR alpha 1 expression ceased. Asym: Number of clones with molecular asymmetry.
