ABflo® 594 Rabbit anti-Human CEACAM5/CD66e mAb

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. Synonyma: CEACAM5, CD66e, CEA, carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5
