QuickView for CGM2 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

CEACAM7 Homo sapiens

Full name:

carcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion molecule 7

Synonyms:

CGM2, carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 7, carcinoembryonic antigen CGM2, carcinoembryonic antigen gene family member 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 19: 46869073-46883936

Description:

This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein and member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family of proteins. Expression of this gene may be downregulated in colon and rectal cancer. Additionally, lower expression levels of this gene may be predictive of rectal cancer recurrence. This gene is present in a CEA family gene cluster on chromosome ...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein and member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family of proteins. Expression of this gene may be downregulated in colon and rectal cancer. Additionally, lower expression levels of this gene may be predictive of rectal cancer recurrence. This gene is present in a CEA family gene cluster on chromosome 19. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
