Antibodies / Antibodies-Cancer Markers

-20°C

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 15mM sodium azide.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to human CEACAM5/CEA.

The CD66e (CEA; 180-200kD) is a member of carcinoembryonic antigens, immunoglobulin supergene family and consists of a single N domain (structural homology to the immunoglobulin variable) and six immunoglobulin constant-like A (A1, A2, A3) and B domains (B1, B2, B3). Human CD66e is heavily glycosylated GPI anchored protein capable of both homophilic and heterophilic adhesion. Disease relevance: The CD66e may play a role in the process of metastasis of cancer cells. CD66e is found in serum and it is clinically used as a tumor marker for early detection of disease due to its expression in adenocarcinomas - potential target of tumor imaging and drug targeting.
