CEACAM-5, also known as CEA and CD66e, belongs to the large family of CEACAM and pregnancy specific glycoproteins. CEACAM molecules are either transmembrane or GPI-linked, and are differentially expressed between species. Orthologs of human CEACAM-5 have not been described in other species. CEACAM-5 is synthesized as a 180 kDa, variably glycosylated molecule of which approximately 60% is carbohydrate. CEACAM-5 functions as a calcium-independent adhesion molecule through homophilic and heterophilic interactions with CEACAM-1. CEACAM-5 is up-regulated in a wide variety of human tumors and is a commonly used cancer marker. It promotes tumor cell migration, invasion, adhesion, and metastasis. It also contributes to tumor formation by maintaining cellular proliferation in the presence of differentiation stimuli, and by blocking apoptosis following loss of ECM anchorage (anoikis).

 

产品性质

Synonyms	CEACAM-5; CD66e; CEA; Meconium antigen 100; Carcinoembryonic; CEACD66e; DKFZp781M2392
Uniprot No.	Q8N4D0
Source	Recombinant Biotinylated Human CEACAM-5/CD66e Protein is expressed from HEK293 Cells with His tag and Avi tag at the C-terminal. It contains Lys35-Ala685.
Molecular Weight	The protein has a predicted MW of 74.2 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 115-145 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
Physical Appearance	Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Purity	> 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Endotoxin	< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Formulation	Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 5% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
Reconstitution	Centrifuge tubes before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100μg/mL is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

 

运输与保存方法

The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ for 1 year.

2-7 days, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 -6 months, -20 to -80°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
