[Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule] This protein is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily expressed by leukocytes after cell activation and thymic epithelial cells. In the nomenclature of CD antigens this protein has been given the designation CD166. ALCAM is a ligand for the lymphocyte antigen CD6 (see also: CD6L-100) but also engages in homophilic interactions (Bowen et al, 1995, 1997).
Bowen et al (1997) have cloned mouse ALCAM, which shows an overall identity of 93 % with the human protein. ALCAM has been identified independently as MEMD.
