FunctionCell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion, intracellular signaling and tumor progression (PubMed:2803308, PubMed:10910050, PubMed:10864933). 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).
BackgroundCEA is a cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion and in intracellular signaling. It is a receptor for E.coli Dr adhesins.Organizational expression:Expressed in columnar epithelial and goblet cells of the colon (at protein level) (PubMed:10436421). Found in adenocarcinomas of endodermally derived digestive system epithelium and fetal colon.
Cell localization:Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Apical cell membrane. Cell surface Note=Localized to the apical glycocalyx surface
