EPCAM

(redirected from MK-1)

EPCAM

A gene on chromosome 2p21 that encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas, which functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. EPCAM is thought to function as a relay molecule between intestinal epithelial cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes at the mucosa, providing an immune barrier to infection. It is of interest in oncology as a target for cancer immunotherapy. It upregulates expression of FABP5, MYC and cyclins A and E.

Molecular pathology
Defects in EPCAM cause congenital tufting enteropathy (diarrhoea type 5).

The MK-1 version had a large enclosure, two "tunable" 3-inch ports, and a 250-watt, on-board amplifier.
The MK-1 version, with one port open, would generate so much turbulence down low at really high outputs that it could ruffle your pant legs from four feet away if you stood behind it.
My own Hsu TN1220 topped out at 113 dB and the earlier VTF-3 MK-1 could hit 112.
Normally, to get maximum extension with the MK-3 sub one does the same thing as they did with the MK-1 and MK-2 versions: plug one of the two ports and set the amp-contouring switch for maximum extension.
