Designing a Western blot for CEACAM6? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the CEACAM6 Western Blot GuideFacts about Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6.
Heterophilic interaction with CEACAM8 occurs in activated neutrophils (PubMed:8776764). Plays a role in neutrophil adhesion to cytokine-activated endothelial cells (PubMed:1378450).
