癌胚抗原(Carcinoembryonic antigen,CEA)是一種存在於粘膜细胞中的醣蛋白[1]。通常胎儿发育時癌胚蛋白會在胃肠组织中产生,但在出生後該物質就不再产生。因此健康成人的血液中通常癌胚蛋白的含量非常低(约2-4纳克/毫升)[2]。然而罹患某些类型的癌症患者的血液中癌胚抗原水平会升高,这意味着人們在篩查癌症時癌胚抗原的含量可以作為檢測指標。重度煙癮者的血液中癌胚抗原的含量也有可能升高[3]。癌胚蛋白於1965年在結腸癌患者的組織提取物中首次被发现[4]

CEA分子通过糖磷脂酰肌醇(GPI)锚定在细胞膜表面,可被Sialyl-LewisX(SLeX)特异性岩藻糖基化英语Fucosylation[5][6][7]
