• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

The carcinoembryonic-antigen-related cell-adhesion molecule (CEACAM) family of proteins has been implicated in various intercellular-adhesion and intracellular-signalling-mediated effects that govern the growth and differentiation of normal and cancerous cells. CEACAM1, also known as biliary glycoprotein I (BGP I) and CD66a, is a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The highly glycosylated CEACAM1 contains one N-terminal V-type Ig-like domain and three C2-type Ig-like domains within its ECD, and one ITIM motif and a calmodulin binding site in the cytoplasmic region. CEACAM1 is a surface glycoprotein expressed on various blood cells, epithelial cells, and vascular cells. It was described as an adhesion molecule mediating cell adhesion via both homophilic and heterophilic manners, and was detected on leukocytes, epithelia, and endothelia. Studies have revealed that CEACAM1 performs actions in multiple cellular processes including tissue differentiation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, metastasis, as well as the modulation of innate and adaptive immune responses.

Human Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the rat CEACAM1 (Met1-Ser422) was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Rat

The recombinant rat CEACAM1 comprises 399 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 44.9 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein is approximately 66-76 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
