Other Information

Description

**Key characteristics:** * The CEACAMP9 gene is located on chromosome 17q21.1. * It is a pseudogene, meaning it is not present in the mature human genome. * The protein encoded by CEACAMP9 is a cell adhesion molecule. * It is expressed in stromal cells and neurons. **Pathways and functions:** The CEACAMP9 protein is involved in the regulation of cell adhesion and migration. It is a key regulator of epithelial cell migration, and its overexpression has been linked to the development of cancer. **Clinical significance:** Mutations in the CEACAMP9 gene have been linked to several human cancers, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. These mutations can lead to the loss of CEACAMP9 protein function, which can result in the uncontrolled migration of cancer cells. **Additional information:** * The CEACAMP9 gene is also known as CD66a. * It is a secreted protein. * It is expressed at high levels in normal skin and tissues. * It is downregulated in cancer cells.
