It is expressed in various cell types, including leukocytes, fibroblasts, epithelial cells, and neurons. ALCAM functions primarily as a cell adhesion molecule, mediating both homotypic (ALCAM-ALCAM) and heterotypic interactions with other cell surface receptors, most notably CD6 (ALCAM-CD6). These interactions, and others, play critical roles in various physiological and pathological processes, including hematopoiesis, neuronal development and function, T cell activation and proliferation, immune response, angiogenesis, and tumor progression and metastasis (1-5). Aberrant ALCAM expression is frequently observed in various human tumors, including melanoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, colorectal carcinoma, bladder cancer, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. High ALCAM expression correlates with poor prognosis and increased metastatic potential in many of these tumor types (5). ALCAM can mediate tumor-endothelial cell interactions, facilitating tumor cell dissemination and extravasation to distant sites such as the brain, bone, and liver. It has been implicated in promoting tumor cell invasion, migration, and survival in the tumor microenvironment and may contribute to chemotherapy drug resistance in some cancers (5).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nactivated leucocyte cell adhesion molecule; Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule; ALCAM; CD166; CD166 antigen; FLJ38514; MEMD; MGC71733\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 100\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798017233065,"sku":"27937T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-27937t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
