This gene encodes activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM), also known as CD166 (cluster of differentiation 166), which is a member of a subfamily of immunoglobulin receptors with five immunoglobulin-like domains (VVC2C2C2) in the extracellular domain. This protein binds to T-cell differentiation antigene CD6, and is implicated in the processes of cell adhesion and migration. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found.

Flow cytometry: 1×10^6 K-562 cells (negative control, left) and SH-SY5Y cells (right) were surface-stained with ABflo® 450 Rabbit anti-Human CD166/ALCAM mAb (A26463,5 μl/Test, orange line) or ABflo® 450 Rabbit IgG isotype control (5 μl/Test, blue line). Non-fluorescently stained cells were used as blank control (red line).
