Carcinoembryonic antigen is a protein generally produced in the gastrointestinal tissue during fetal development. But, its production is stopped before the birth of a child. So, CEA levels in the blood of healthy adults are very low. A tumor marker is a substance produced by a body in the presence of cancer or cancer itself can make tumor markers. Some of the tumor markers are specific to one cancer and some are seen in different types of cancers. The CEA can be used as tumor markers for colon, pancreatic, lung, gastric and breast cancers. CEA is a set of highly related glycoproteins that are involved in the cell adhesion. Its molecular weight is 20,000. CEA attaches to the plasma membrane of tumor cells and gets released into the blood.
