A number of ELISA Kits are available that target s-gicerin, an alias of the protein, melanoma cell adhesion molecule. The human protein is encoded by the gene MCAM. The protein's cellular localization is indicated to be membrane-associated. Additional synonyms or past names for this protein may include: CD146, HEMCAM, METCAM, MUC18, MelCAM. Homology is conserved in other species, such as Mouse, Rat, Zebrafish.
