Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 3 (CEACAM3) Human Recombinant Protein

CEACAM3: Major granulocyte receptor mediating recognition and efficient opsonin-independent phagocytosis of CEACAM-binding microorganisms, including Neissiria, Moxarella and Haemophilus species, thus playing an important role in the clearance of pathogens by the innate immune system. Responsible for RAC1 stimulation in the course of pathogen phagocytosis. Interacts with S100A9/calprotectin. This interaction is calcium-dependent, but independent of CEACAM3 phosphorylation. CGM1a, the predominant CGM1 transcript, is granulocyte-specific. Not detected out of the granulocytic lineage, such as monocytes, lymphocytes, spleen, testis, colon, brain, liver, pancreas, thymus, ovary, placenta, skeletal muscle, prostate, small intestine, heart, lung and kidney. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CEA family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Protein type: Cell adhesion; Immunoglobulin superfamily; Membrane protein, integral
