carcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion molecule 1

BGP | BGP1 | BGPI

This gene encodes a member of the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) gene family, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. Two subgroups of the CEA family, the CEA cell adhesion molecules and the pregnancy-specific glycoproteins, are located within a 1.2 Mb cluster on the long arm of chromosome 19. Eleven pseudogenes of the CEA cell adhesion molecule subgroup are also found in the cluster. The encoded protein was originally described in bile ducts of liver as biliary glycoprotein. Subsequently, it was found to be a cell-cell adhesion molecule detected on leukocytes, epithelia, and endothelia. The encoded protein mediates cell adhesion via homophilic as well as heterophilic binding to other proteins of the subgroup. Multiple cellular activities have been attributed to the encoded protein, including roles in the differentiation and arrangement of tissue three-dimensional structure, angiogenesis, apoptosis, tumor suppression, metastasis, and the modulation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been reported, but the full-length nature of all variants has not been defined. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010].

Advantages of HAP1 knockout cell lines

Easily characterize knockout of your gene-of-interest in a biological context
Ready-made knockout cell lines are available for all non-essential human genes
Editing has been confirmed by Sanger sequencing of genomic DNA
Two independent knockout products for each gene, allowing second-clone analysis if more than one data point is required

Proven models

Our catalog of cell lines has become a gold-standard resource in antibody validation, cancer research, and early drug-discovery research. Horizon was recently recognized by CiteAb as the Cell Line Supplier to Watch in Cancer Research for 2024. Read more about the CiteAb award.

Why are HAP1 cells an ideal option for gene-edited cell line models?

Our HAP1 cell line database represents the synergy of two great systems - the amenability of human haploid HAP1s to gene editing and CRISPR-Cas9 technology. HAP1 is a human near-haploid cell line derived from the chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cell line KBM-7. KBM-7 cells were derived from a male patient and lack a Y chromosome. Therefore, haploid HAP1 cells contain a single X chromosome. For more details on how the HAP1 cell line was created and their full genotype, please see the references tab.

HAP1 cell line properties include:

Sustained growth at single cell dilutions
Ease of transfection
Rapid doubling time
Not selected for ploidy status

Will have haploid and diploid populations

The majority of commonly used cell lines are diploid or even have more than two copies of any particular allele. When gene editing for loss of function mutations, each allele has to be modified for the phenotype to be expressed. The HAP1 cell line has the advantage of having one copy of each gene meaning you can be sure the edited allele will not be masked by addition alleles. With passaging, HAP1 cells will spontaneously diploidize over time. However, the knockout will not be affected by diploidization as it is a duplication of the edited allele that gives rise to the diploid state.

See our HAP1 publication list to see how the cell line has been applied for a wide range of biological processes and assays, such as DNA damage repair pathway, stress responses, disease modeling as well as antibody validation.
