Carcinoembryonic antigen cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM) expression on cells. The CEACAM IgG superfamily may be present on normal endothelial cells, leukocytes, Kupffer cells and tumor cells (colon, breast). They are involved in cell adhesion and recognition. They participate in homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion, facilitating migration and metastasis. CEA represents CEACAM, ICAM intercellular cell adhesion molecule, and VCAM-1 vascular cell adhesion molecule-1.
