HOMOLOGY

intraspecies

homolog to carcinoembryonic antigen

FAMILY	immunoglobulin superfamily
	CEA subfamily

CATEGORY

adhesion , antigen , tumor suppressor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
text	attached to the membrane by a GPI-anchor

basic FUNCTION	CEACAM6 and CEACAM7 expression correlated with apoptosis at the table region of the normal colon
	cellular adhesion protein that is expressed on the surface of colon and rectum epithelial cells and is downregulated in colorectal cancers
	achieves cell adhesion through dimerization of the N-terminal IgV domain

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

IFNG has two important effects on the expression levels of the CEA family molecules in colon epithelial cells: direct upregulation of CEACAM1 and promotion of cell differentiation resulting in increased expression of CEA and CEACAM6 and decreased expression of CEACAM7
