CEACAM-5

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) is also Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), Meconium antigen 100, CD antigen CD66e, CEACAM5 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and CEA family. CEACAM5 contains seven Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domains. CEACAM5 is homodimer protein which binding of E.coli Dr adhesins leads to dissociation of the homodimer. CEACAM5 is cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion and in intracellular signaling. CEACAM5 is receptor for E.coli Dr adhesins.
