CEACAM8

Gene

CEACAM8

Protein

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 8

Organism

Homo sapiens

Length

349 amino acids

Function

Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion in a calcium-independent manner (PubMed:8776764, PubMed:2022629, PubMed:11590190). Mediates heterophilic cell adhesion with other carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules, such as CEACAM6 (PubMed:8776764, PubMed:2022629, PubMed:11590190). Heterophilic interaction with CEACAM8 occurs in activated neutrophils (PubMed:8776764).

Similarity

Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CEA family.
