Product details:
Human CEACAM6 ELISA kit (ab283545) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Human CEACAM6 protein in human serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human CEACAM6 with 3.41 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
CEACAM6 is a cell surface glycoprotein receptor and part of the CEA immunoglobulin superfamily. CEACAM6 is expressed in neutrophils, columnar epithelial and goblet cells, and in many tumor cell lines. It is involved in cell adhesion and tumor progression. Overexpression of CEACAM6 is seen in primary and metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and is a poor prognostic marker.

CEACAM6 also known as 9a6 CEACAM-6 and 1h7 is a cell surface glycoprotein weighing approximately 35-40 kDa. The protein plays a mechanical role as an intercellular adhesion molecule. It displays broad expression across multiple tissues with high levels found in epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract respiratory tract and in leukocytes.
Biological function summary
CEACAM6 acts in cell signaling and adhesion processes. It often forms complexes with other members of the CEACAM family such as CEACAM5. This protein is involved in the regulation of cell-cell adhesion which impacts cell migration and organization. It also influences immune reactions by modulating the interactions between pathogens and host cells.
Pathways
CEACAM6 integrates into pathways associated with cell adhesion and immune regulation. It engages in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway tightly interacting with proteins such as CEACAM1 and CEACAM5. Through these interactions CEACAM6 plays an essential role in cell survival proliferation and immune responses.
CEACAM6 shows significant links with cancer especially colorectal and pancreatic cancers. Overexpression of this protein correlates with tumor progression and metastasis. Additionally in inflammatory bowel disease CEACAM6 association with CEACAM7 often results in altered epithelial barrier function contributing to disease pathogenesis.
