Entrez gene summary

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Staining summary

Weak to moderate cytoplasmic and membranous staining was observed in intercalated ducts of salivary gland, microvilli in glandular epithelia of the gastrointestinal tract and in trophoblastic cells in placenta. Subsets of leukocytes were strongly stained in several cases. Remaining normal tissues were in general negative.
