ALCAM, activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule, is a type I membrane glycoprotein and a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family. It is also known as CD166, MEMD, SC-1/DM-GRASP/BEN in the chicken, and KG-CAM in the rat. ALCAM is expressed on thymic epithelial cells, activated B and T cells, and monocytes. ALCAM can bind itself homotypically and is also capable of binding CD6, NgCAM, and other, as of yet, unidentified brain proteins. The ALCAM/CD6 interaction may be involved in T cell development and T cell regulation. Additionally, ALCAM/CD6 and ALCAM/NgCAM interactions may play roles in the nervous system. ALCAM has also been observed to be up‑regulated on highly metastasizing melanoma cell lines and may play a role in tumor migration. ALCAM is a 583 amino acid (aa) protein consisting of a 27 aa signal peptide, a 500 aa extracellular domain, a 24 aa transmembrane domain and a 32 aa cytoplasmic domain. The extracellular domain of ALCAM contains 5 Ig-like domains.

Human ALCAM / CD166 ELISA Standard Curve
Recombinant Human ALCAM/CD166 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 656-AL) was serially diluted and captured by Mouse Anti-Human ALCAM/CD166 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6561) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Human ALCAM/CD166 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF656) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998)Applications for Human ALCAM/CD166 Antibody [Biotin]
