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). (Microbial infection) Receptor for E.coli Dr adhesins. Binding of E.coli Dr adhesins leads to dissociation of the homodimer.
Alternative names
CD66e, CEA, CEACAM5, Cell adhesion molecule CEACAM5, Carcinoembryonic antigen, Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5, Meconium antigen 100, CEA cell adhesion molecule 5

Notes
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human CEA. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (Human CEA ELISA Kit ab264604), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
CEACAM5 also known as Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) or CD66e is a glycoprotein found mainly on the surface of epithelial cells. This protein has a mass of approximately 180 kDa. It gets expressed in a variety of tissues with high expression in the gastrointestinal tract including the colon and rectum. CEACAM5 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and plays a role in cell adhesion influencing how cells stick to each other.
- Biological function summary
CEACAM5 contributes to cellular processes involving cell adhesion and immune response modulation. This protein operates as part of a larger group of cell adhesion molecules and does not function as part of a complex. CEACAM5 can affect the interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix which has implications for tissue structuring and integrity. It helps the immune system recognize and respond to infectious agents or cellular anomalies.
- Pathways
CEACAM5 involvement extends to immune response regulation and cell adhesion pathways. It interacts functionally with proteins like E-cadherin in these pathways which contribute to maintaining epithelial integrity. These pathways are critical for normal tissue maintenance and immune system function especially in mucosal surfaces where pathogen entry occurs. Understanding CEACAM5 interactions provides insight into cellular communication and adhesion mechanisms.
- Associated diseases and disorders
CEACAM5 is associated with colorectal cancer and lung adenocarcinoma. Its overexpression and release into the bloodstream make it a popular biomarker for these diseases. CEACAM5 is used in clinical applications such as CEA ELISA assays for cancer detection and monitoring. In colorectal cancer CEACAM5 interacts with proteins like CEACAM6 to promote tumor invasiveness and metastasis. Anti-CEACAM5 therapeutics including antibody-drug conjugates (anti-CEACAM5 ADC) are being developed to target and treat associated malignancies.
