Post Translational Modifications | Complex immunoreactive glycoprotein with a MW of 180 kDa comprising 60% carbohydrate. |
Function | Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion, intracellular signaling and tumor progression. Mediates homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion with other carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules, such as CEACAM6. Plays a role as an oncogene by promoting tumor progression.induces resistance to anoikis of colorectal carcinoma cells. (Microbial infection) Receptor for E.coli Dr adhesins. Binding of E.coli Dr adhesins leads to dissociation of the homodimer. |
