Also known as CD66e
Summary
CEACAM5 (CEA cell adhesion molecule 5, HGNC:1817) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.2, encoding Cell adhesion molecule CEACAM5 (P06731). Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion, intracellular signaling and tumor progression.
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.
