CEACAM5 | Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5; Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion, intracellular signaling and tumor progression. Mediates homophilic and heterophilic cell adhesion with other carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules, such as CEACAM6. Plays a role as an oncogene by promoting tumor progression; induces resistance to anoikis of colorectal carcinoma cells. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CEA family. (702 aa) | ||||
MUC6 | Mucin-6; May provide a mechanism for modulation of the composition of the protective mucus layer related to acid secretion or the presence of bacteria and noxious agents in the lumen. Plays an important role in the cytoprotection of epithelial surfaces and are used as tumor markers in a variety of cancers. May play a role in epithelial organogenesis. (2439 aa) | ||||
ARFIP2 | Arfaptin-2; Plays a role in constitutive metalloproteinase (MMP) secretion from the trans Golgi network. May have important functions during vesicle biogenesis at certain cargo subdomains, which could be predominantly utilized by secreted MMPs, such as MMP7 and MMP2. Participates also in autophagy by regulating the starvation-depdendent trafficking of ATG9A vesicles which deliver the PI4-kinase to the autophagosome initiation site. In addition, plays a role in NF-kappa-B inhibition by interacting with IKBKB and IKBKG. (374 aa) | ||||
MUC2 | Mucin-2; Coats the epithelia of the intestines, airways, and other mucus membrane-containing organs. Thought to provide a protective, lubricating barrier against particles and infectious agents at mucosal surfaces. Major constituent of both the inner and outer mucus layers of the colon and may play a role in excluding bacteria from the inner mucus layer. (131 aa) |
