4. 2. Differential expression pattern of CEACAM1 isoforms in polarized epithelial cells : it's regulation and some functional consequences

   Author : Ulla Sundberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : CEACAM1; adhesion; lateral localization; adherens junctions; desmosomes; primary cilia;

   Abstract : The cell adhesion molecule CEACAM1 is expressed in epithelia, small vessel endothelia and leukocytes as two major, co-expressed isoforms, CEACAM1-L and CEACAM1-S, which differ in their cytoplasmic domains. CEACAM1 has been found both in cell-cell contact areas and on apical surfaces of polarized epithelial cells. READ MORE
