Background: |
CEA-related cell adhesion molecule 8 (CEACAM8) belongs to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family. It encodes a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked glycoprotein with a molecular mass of of 95kD and is expressed in cells of the granulocyte-lineage. It is expressed in neutrophils and eosinophils and is characterized as a granulocyte-specific activation antigen. Therefore CEACAM8 could serve as a marker for granulocyte activities. Like all members of the CEA family, it consists of a single N domain, with structural homology to the immunoglobulin variable domains, followed by two immunoglobulin constant-like A and B domains. |
