CEACAM5 is a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily (1,2). CEACAM proteins are involved in cell-cell recognition and modulate cellular processes that range from the shaping of tissue architecture and neovascularization to the regulation of insulin homeostasis and T-cell proliferation (2). CEACAM5 has been shown to be overexpressed in a majority of carcinomas and has been suggested to be a intercellular adhesion molecule involved in cancer invasion and metastasis (3).1) Gold P and Freedman SO.
