Anti-CEACAM, NT (Carcinoembryonic Antigen-related Cell Adhesion Molecule 1, Biliary Glycoprotein 1,

CEACAM is a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The protein was originally described in bile ducts of liver as biliary glycoprotein. Subsequently, it was found to be a cell-cell adhesion molecule detected on leukocytes, epithelia, and endothelia. The protein mediates cell adhesion via homophilic as well as heterophilic binding to other proteins of the subgroup. Multiple cellular activities have been attributed to the protein, including roles in the differentiation and arrangement of tissue three-dimensional structure, angiogenesis, apoptosis, tumor suppression, metastasis, and the modulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
