| Product Name | Human CEACAM5 Recombinant Protein |
|---|---|
| Species Reactivity | Human |
| Gene Symbol | CEACAM5 |
| Gene Synonyms | CEA CD66e |
| Gene Full Name | CEA cell adhesion molecule 5 |
| Gene Summary | This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein that represents the founding member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family of proteins. The encoded protein is used as a clinical biomarker for gastrointestinal cancers and may promote tumor development through its role as a cell adhesion molecule. Additionally, the encoded protein may regulate differentiation, apoptosis, and cell polarity. This gene is present in a CEA family gene cluster on chromosome 19. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015] |
