CEACAM1

SYNONYMS
Carcinoembryonic Antigen Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 1, Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (Biliary Glycoprotein), CD66a Antigen, BGP1, BGP, Biliary Glycoprotein 1, Antigen CD66, BGP-1, BGPI.

INTRODUCTION
Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (CEACAM1) belongs to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family which is a part of the immunoglobulin superfamily. CEACAM1 is a cell adhesion protein which mediates homophilic cell adhesion in a calcium-independent way. CEACAM1 is a surface glycoprotein expressed on various blood cells, epithelial cells, and vascular cells. CEACAM1 functions as coinhibitory receptor in immune response, and plays a role also as an activator during angiogenesis.

DESCRIPTION
CEACAM1 produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 405 amino acids (35-428 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 44.6kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-70 kDa). CEACAM1 is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
