Description
Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion in a calcium-independent manner (PubMed: 8776764, PubMed: 2022629, PubMed: 11590190). Mediates heterophilic cell adhesion with other carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules, such as CEACAM6 (PubMed: 8776764, PubMed: 2022629, PubMed: 11590190). Heterophilic interaction with CEACAM8 occurs in activated neutrophils (PubMed: 8776764).[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
