Cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell adhesion in a calcium-independent manner ( ). Mediates heterophilic cell adhesion with other carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecules, such as CEACAM6 ( ). Heterophilic interaction with CEACAM8 occurs in activated neutrophils .
Subcellular locations: Cell membrane, Cell surface
Expressed in leukocytes of chronic myeloid Leukemia patients and bone marrow.
