Normal colon mucosa was found to produce carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) quite actively as cancerous tissues do when maintained in an organ culture, although the fresh normal mucosae contained a very small quantity of CEA unlike cancerous tissues. This is consistent with an active expression of CEA mRNA in normal mucosa comparable to that in cancerous tissues actively producing CEA, and suggests that the normal cell product was rapidly released into the lumen of digestive tract and turned into normal fecal antigens (NFAs) previously found in feces. 3H-Labeled precursors of glycophospholipid such as ethanolamine and stearic acid were incorporated into CEA produced by both normal and cancerous tissues, suggesting that CEA in normal mucosa is anchored to the cell membrane through a glycophospholipid as in cancerous tissues.
