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.

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.

    Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-CEACAM5 antibody [EPCEAR7] (ab214868)

    IHC image of Carcino Embryonic Antigen CEA staining in a section of frozen normal human colon*.

    The section was fixed using 10% formaldehyde in 1XPBS for 10 minutes. No antigen retrieval step was performed prior to staining. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab214868 at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and counterstained using Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-Tubulin antibody [YOL1/34] - Microtubule Marker ab195884, Rat monoclonal to Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 647), at 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.
