Abstract excerpt
CEACAM6 (CD66c) and CEACAM8 (CD66b) are cell-adhesion proteins on neutrophils that belong to the human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family. CEACAM6 reveals homophilic adhesion and heterophilic adhesion to other CEACAM family antigens including CEACAM8, CEACAM1, and CEA, whereas CEACAM8 exhibits only heterophilic adhesion to CEACAM6. Here, we investigated and compared structural requirements for the homophilic...
