Nonspecific Cross-Reacting Antigen 95 (NCA-95)

Target
NCA-95
Molecular classification
Carcinoembryonic antigen-related glycoprotein, Immunoglobulin superfamily member, Cell adhesion molecule
01

Overview

Nonspecific Cross-Reacting Antigen 95 (NCA-95) is a cell surface glycoprotein belonging to the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family and the immunoglobulin supergene family. Primarily expressed on granulocytes, it plays roles in cell adhesion, immune response, and bacterial recognition. It is implicated in various cancers and inflammatory conditions, serving as a potential biomarker.
