CD166 antigen is a 100-105 kD typeI transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of proteins. In humans it is encoded by the ALCAM gene. It is also called CD166 (cluster of differentiation 166) MEMD SC-1/DM-GRASP/BEN in the chicken and KG-CAM in the rat. Some literature sources have also cited it as the CD6 ligand (CD6L).
