CEACAM1 Antibody / BGP-1

SKU: orb1824698

Description

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is one of the most commonly used tumor markers in serum immunoassay determinations of carcinoma. Members of the CEACAM (carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule) family contain a single N domain, with structural homology to the immunoglobulin variable domains, followed by a variable number of immunoglobulin constant-like A and/or B domains. CEACAM1, also called Biliary glycoprotein 1 (BGP-1), is a 526 amino acid protein that exists as seven alternatively spliced isoforms, some of which localize to the cell membranes, while others are secreted. One of several members of the CEACAM family, CEACAM1 contains one Ig-like V-type domain and three Ig-like C2-type domains and is thought to play a role in a variety of cellular activities, including angiogenesis, apoptosis, arrangement of tissue three dimensional structure and modulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Additionally, CEACAM1 is under-expressed in colorectal cancers, suggesting a role in tumor suppression.
