Normal role description: The role of CEACAM1 is diverse and its involvement in tumorigenesis complex. It promotes tumour angiogenesis, cellular migration of blood vessel endothelial cells, promotes or inhibits apoptosis in different tissues. Involved in differentiation and modulation of immune responses. In different cancers up- or downregulated.
