Carcinoembryonic Antigen Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 7 (CEACAM7)

Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 7 is a protein that encoded by the CEACAM7 gene, belong to the CEA gene family. For general information on the CEA gene family, The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA showed that CEA is synthesized as a precursor with a signal peptide followed by 668 amino acids of the putative mature CEA peptide.The gene order and orientation, which were determined with hybridization with probes from the 5-prime and 3-prime regions of the genes, were determined to be as follows: cen/3-prime CGM7/3-prime CGM2/5-prime CEA/5-prime NCA/5-prime CGM1/3-prime BGP/3-prime CGM9/3-prime CGM6/5-prime CGM8///PSG cluster/qter.
