CEACAM3, CT (CEACAM3, CD66D, CGM1, Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 3, Carcinoembryonic antigen CGM1, CD66d)

This gene encodes a member of the family of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs), which are used by several bacterial pathogens to bind and invade host cells. The encoded transmembrane protein directs phagocytosis of several bacterial species that is dependent on the small GTPase Rac. It is thought to serve an important role in controlling human-specific pathogens by the innate immune system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry,...
