Cell adhesion molecule that mediates both heterotypic cell-cell contacts via its interaction with CD6, as well as homotypic cell-cell contacts. Promotes T-cell activation and proliferation via its interactions with CD6 (By similarity). Contributes to the formation and maturation of the immunological synapse via its interactions with CD6 (By similarity). Mediates homotypic interactions with cells that express ALCAM (PubMed:24740813). Mediates attachment of dendritic cells onto endothelial cells via homotypic interaction. Inhibits endothelial cell migration and promotes endothelial tube formation via homotypic interactions (PubMed:23169771). Required for normal organization of the lymph vessel network (PubMed:23169771). Required for normal hematopoietic stem cell engraftment in the bone marrow (PubMed:24740813). Plays a role in hematopoiesis; required for normal numbers of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow (PubMed:25730656). Promotes in vitro osteoblast proliferation and differentiation (PubMed:25730656). Promotes neurite extension, axon growth and axon guidance; axons grow preferentially on surfaces that contain ALCAM (By similarity). Mediates outgrowth and pathfinding for retinal ganglion cell axons (PubMed:15345243).

Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Cell projection, axon . Cell projection, dendrite . Detected at the immunological synapse, i.e, at the contact zone between antigen-presenting dendritic cells and T-cells. Colocalizes with CD6 and the TCR/CD3 complex at the immunological synapse.

Detected on brain motor neurons, in differentiating retinal ganglion cells and in adult retina (PubMed:15345243). Detected on leukocytes and on lymphatic endothelial cells (PubMed:23169771). Detected in spleen B cells and T-cells (at protein level) (PubMed:9209500). Detected in adult brain and embryonic spinal cord (PubMed:15345243). Expressed at high levels in the brain, and lung, and at lower levels in the liver, and the kidney, as well as by activated leukocytes (PubMed:9209500).

CD166 antigen is a 100-105 kD typeI transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of proteins. In humans it is encoded by the ALCAM gene. The gene was mapped to human chromosome 3q13.1-q13.2 by fluorescence in situ hybridization of cDNA probes to metaphase chromosomes. It is also called CD166 (cluster of differentiation 166), MEMD, SC-1/DM-GRASP/BEN in the chicken, and KG-CAM in the rat. It is expressed on activated T cells, activated monocytes, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, neurons, melanoma cells, and also in sweat and sebaceous glands. CD166 protein expression is reported to be upregulated in a cell line deriving from a metastasizing melanoma. CD166 plays an important role in mediating adhesion interactions between thymic epithelial cells and CD6+ cells during intrathymic T cell development. Recently, CD166 has also been used as a potential cancer stem cell marker.
