Target Background	CEACAM6 (carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6), is encoded by the human CEACAM6 gene. It plays a probable role in both cell-cell signaling and cell adhesion, promoting tumor progression, invasion and metastasis. It is upregulated in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.

Protein Information
Name	CEACAM6 (HGNC:1818)
Function	Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion and tumor progression (PubMed:10910050, PubMed:11590190, PubMed:1378450, PubMed:16204051, PubMed:2022629, PubMed:2803308, PubMed:8776764). Intercellular adhesion occurs in a calcium- and fibronectin-independent manner (PubMed:16204051, PubMed:2022629). Mediates homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion with other carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules, such as CEACAM5 and CEACAM8 (PubMed:11590190, PubMed:16204051, PubMed:2022629, PubMed:2803308, PubMed:8776764). Heterophilic interaction with CEACAM8 occurs in activated neutrophils (PubMed:8776764). Plays a role in neutrophil adhesion to cytokine-activated endothelial cells (PubMed:1378450). Plays a role in cell migration and cell adhesion to endothelial cells (PubMed:16204051).
Cellular Location	Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Apical cell membrane. Cell surface. Note=Localized to the apical glycocalyx surface.
Tissue Location	Expressed in neutrophils (PubMed:1378450). Expressed in columnar epithelial and goblet cells of the colon (PubMed:10436421). Expressed in numerous tumor cell lines (at protein level) (PubMed:16204051).
