| Miscellaneous/General: | CEA-related cell adhesion molecule 7 (CEACAM7, CGM2) belongs to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family. It encodes a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-linked glycoprotein which is only found on the apical surface of highly differentiated epithelial cells of adult colon and on a small epithelial cell population in pancreatic ducts. CEACAM7 expression is completely lost upon malignant transformation already in hyperplastic polyps and early adenomas as well as in adenocarcinomas of the colon. Like all members of the CEACAM family it consists of a single N domain, with structural homology to the immunoglobulin variable domains, followed by one immunoglobulin constant-like A domain. |
Figure 1: Specificity testing of BAC2 (Prod. No. ALX-805-079). Members of the CEACAM family were expressed on BOSC cells after transient transfection with expression vectors containing either the cDNA of CEACAM1, 5, 6, 7, 8 or a recombinant trans-membrane-anchored PSG1 fusion protein. Recognition of CEACAM3, CEACAM4 and PSG1 was tested on stably transfected HeLa (CEACAM3, PSG) and CHO cells (CEACAM4), respectively. Expression of the constructs was confirmed with monoclonal antibodies known to recognize the corresponding proteins (CEACAM1, 3, 4, 5 and 6: D14HD11 (Prod. No. ALX-805-080); CEACAM7: CAC2; CEACAM8: TET2 (Prod. No. ALX-805-081); PSG: BAP1; green curves). An irrelevant monoclonal antibody served as a negative control (black curves). For specificity testing, protein G purified BAC2 was tested on all CEACAM transfectants. A positive signal was only obtained with CEACAM7 expressing cells (red curves).
