- Description: CEACAM-6 is expressed by granulocytes and their precursors. Activation enhances surface expression by mobilizing CEACAM-6 from storage in azurophilic granules. It often shows aberrant expression in acute lymphocytic leukaemia's. CEACAM-6 is also expressed in epithelia of various organs and is upregulated in pancreatic and colon adenocarcinomas and hyperplastic polyps. Over-expression confers resistance to adhesion-related apoptosis (anoikis) in tumour cells
