Function | Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion and tumor progression (PubMed:10910050, PubMed:11590190, PubMed:1378450, PubMed:16204051, PubMed:2022629, PubMed:2803308, PubMed:8776764). Intercellular adhesion occurs in a calcium- and fibronectin-independent manner (PubMed:16204051, PubMed:2022629). Mediates homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion with other carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules, such as CEACAM5 and CEACAM8 (PubMed:11590190, PubMed:16204051, PubMed:2022629, PubMed:2803308, PubMed:8776764). Heterophilic interaction with CEACAM8 occurs in activated neutrophils (PubMed:8776764). Plays a role in neutrophil adhesion to cytokine-activated endothelial cells (PubMed:1378450). Plays a role in cell migration and cell adhesion to endothelial cells (PubMed:16204051). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Apical cell membrane. Cell surface. Note=Localized to the apical glycocalyx surface. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in neutrophils (PubMed:1378450). Expressed in columnar epithelial and goblet cells of the colon (PubMed:10436421). Expressed in numerous tumor cell lines (at protein level) (PubMed:16204051). |

Background
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA; MIM 114890) is one of the most widely used tumor markers in serum immunoassay determinations of carcinoma. An apparent lack of absolute cancer specificity for CEA probably results in part from the presence in normal and neoplastic tissues of antigens that share antigenic determinants with the 180-kD form of CEA (Barnett et al., 1988 [PubMed 3220478]). For background information on the CEA family of genes, see CEACAM1 (MIM 109770).
