CARCINOEMBRYONIC ANTIGEN

The Uses of CARCINOEMBRYONIC ANTIGEN

Carcinoembryonic Antigen human has been used as a standard in electrochemical immunosensor and developed surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) immunosensor. It has also been used as a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

The Uses of CARCINOEMBRYONIC ANTIGEN

Suggested starting dilutions are as follows: ICC/IF: 1:100-1:1000, IHC-P: 1:100-1:1000, WB: 1:1000-1:10000. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal working dilutions should be determined experimentally by the end user.

General Description

Carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA) or CEA cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 19q13.2. CEACAM5 is a member of the CEACAM family. This glycosylated protein contains a typical N-terminal variable immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain, constant Ig-like domain, and a hydrophobic transmembrane domain with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol lipid moiety.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Members of the CEACAM subfamily, including CEACAM5, belong to the CEA gene family. For general information on the CEA gene family, see CEACAM1 (MIM 109770).[supplied by OMIM]
