Human CEA/CEACAM5/CD66e Gene, Full-length cDNA Clone in Lentivector, Endotoxin-free DNA

Description

CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen), also kown as CEACAM5, BGP1 and CD66e, is a member of the CEA gene family belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). CEA family members are either transmembrane or GPI­-anchored within two subgroups: the CEA cell adhesion molecules (CEACAM) and the pregnancy-specific glycoproteins.  Members of the CEA family consist of a single N domain, with structural similarity to the Ig variable (IgV) domains, followed by a variable number of Ig constant-like 1 (IgC1) and/or 2 (IgC2) domains.  In human, 7 CEACAMs have been identified including 3 transmembrane proteins (CEACAM1, 3, 4) and 4 GPI-anchored molecules (CEACAM5-8). Human CEA or CEACAM-5 contains1 Ig-like V-type (IgV) domain at the N-terminus, followed by 6 Ig-like C2-type (IgC2) domain and a GPI anchor.  It exists as a homodimer . Intriguingly orthologs of human CEA have not been found in other species. Human CEA is expressed primarily in epithelial cells and functions as an adhesion molecule through homophilic and heterophilic interactions with CEACAM1/CD66a. CEA plays an important role in the development and maintenance of epithelial architecture. CEA is up-regulated in a wide array of human tumors and has been used a s a common cancer biomarker. CEA can promote tumor cell migration, invasion, adhesion, and metastasis.  It may also contribute to tumorigenicity by inhibiting cellular differentiation. GPI-anchored CEA can be released by GPI­PLD, resulting in a soluble molecule that induces tumor metastasis.  CEA has been considered as a a target for immunotherapy. 

 

 

Gene Symbol: CEA; CEACAM5; CEACAM-5; CD66e; CEAM5

 

NCBI Gene ID: 1048

 

Uniprot Entry: P06731

 

Construct Details: Full length human CEA gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter and with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells.  It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles. Multiple choices of a stable antibiotic selection marker are available.

 

Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)

 

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

 

Gene Insert Size: 2109 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
