Gene: CEACAM3
Alternate names for this Gene: CD66D|CEA|CGM1|W264|W282
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the family of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules (CEACAMs), which are used by several bacterial pathogens to bind and invade host cells. The encoded transmembrane protein directs phagocytosis of several bacterial species that is dependent on the small GTPase Rac. It is thought to serve an important role in controlling human-specific pathogens by the innate immune system. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 19
Location in Chromosome : 19q13.2
