Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Purification
This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This CEACAM7 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 112-140 amino acids from the Central region of human CEACAM7.
CEA-related cell adhesion molecule 7 (CEACAM7,CGM2) belongs to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family. It encodes a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-linked glycoprotein which is only found on the apical surface of highly differentiated epithelial cells adult colon and on a small epithelial cell population in pancreatic ducts. CEACAM7 expression is completely lost upon malignant transformation already in hyperplastic polyps and early adenomas as well as in adenocarcinomas of the colon. Like all members of the CEACAM family, it consists of a single N domain, with structural homology to the immunoglobulin variable domains, followed by one immunoglobulin constantlike A domain.
