“…Several CEACAMs are expressed and anchored predominantly on the surfaces of epithelial, endothelial, lymphocyte, myeloid, and granulocyte cells. Certain CEACAMs, however, are expressed only on one cell type or tissue, including CEACAM3, CEACAM8, and CEACAM16, which are expressed on phagocytes, granulocytes, and in the inner ear, respectively (3)(4)(5). With distinct expression patterns and localizations, CEACAMs are typically observed to be involved in numerous and diverse cellular functions, including cell adhesion, proliferation, signaling, differentiation, tumor suppression, and survival (6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”
