---|---|
Synonyms | CEA |
Function | Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion, intracellular signaling and tumor progression (PubMed:10864933, PubMed:10910050, PubMed:2803308). Mediates homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion with other carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules, such as CEACAM6 (PubMed:2803308). Plays a role as an oncogene by promoting tumor progression; induces resistance to anoikis of colorectal carcinoma cells (PubMed:10910050). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Apical cell membrane. Cell surface Note=Localized to the apical glycocalyx surface |
Tissue Location | Expressed in columnar epithelial and goblet cells of the colon (at protein level) (PubMed:10436421). Found in adenocarcinomas of endodermally derived digestive system epithelium and fetal colon. |

Background
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).
