CEACAM19 (carcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion molecule 19)

CEACAM19 is a member of the CEACAM subfamily of genes, described for the first time by Scorilas et al. (2003). Very few studies have been conducted so far concerning the CEACAM19 gene. Consequently, very little is known about it, and its function in either physiological or pathological cellular processes remains poorly elucidated. Here, we present a review on the DNA, mRNA and protein level of the gene and on its implication in various types of human malignancies
