products description :
CD66a is a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. However, CD66a combines structural features of the immunoglobulin superfamily with functional properties of cadherins.The mechanism (s) by which CD66a transmits signals.are unclear. However, CD66a is phosphorylated on its cytoplasmic domain, largely on tyrosine with a lower level of phosphoserine, in neutrophils and colon cancer cells. While at least eight isoforms of CD66a derived from differential splicing have been described, only those isoforms with a long cytoplasmic tail can be phosphorylated on tyrosine. In addition, associated protein tyrosine kinase and phosphatase activities may be involved in CD66a signaling.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Two subgroups of the CEA family, the CEA cell adhesion molecules and the pregnancy-specific glycoproteins, are located within a 1.2 Mb cluster on the long arm of chromosome 19. Eleven pseudogenes of the CEA cell adhesion molecule subgroup are also found in the cluster. The encoded protein was originally described in bile ducts of liver as biliary glycoprotein. Subsequently, it was found to be a cell-cell adhesion molecule detected on leukocytes, epithelia, and endothelia. The encoded protein mediates cell adhesion via homophilic as well as heterophilic binding to other proteins of the subgroup. Multiple cellular activities have been attributed to the encoded protein, including roles in the differentiation and arrangement of tissue three-dimensional structure, angiogenesis, apoptosis, tumor suppression, metastasis, and the modulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been reported, but the full-length nature of all variants has not been defined. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
uniprot summary :
CEACAM1: carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1. A cell-cell adhesion molecule that directly associates with annexin II. Has tumor suppressor activity in prostate carcinoma. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and the CEA family. Abundantly expressed in epithelia, vessel endothelia, trophoblasts, platelets and neutrophilic granulocytes.
