CEACAM5

ALIASES

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) is a cell surface glycoprotein that is a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen family, which contains 12 glycoproteins. It is used as a clinical biomarker for many different cancers. It may promote tumor development, metastasis, and cell adhesion by inhibiting differentiation and apoptosis, while disrupting tissue architecture through its role as a cell adhesion molecule.1,2

Understanding the Role of CEACAM5

This animation explains the role of the CEACAM5 glycoprotein in the inhibition of cell differentiation and apoptosis, which can promote tumor growth and metastasis.
