Description

Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the protein kinase superfamily. This protein is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. EGFR is a cell surface protein that binds to epidermal growth factor. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer.

Short Description

EGFR antibody recognizes epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, also known as HER1 in humans), a receptor tyrosine kinase with a predicted molecular weight of 134 kDa. EGFR is involved in epithelial tissue development and homeostasis. It is also a driver of tumorigenesis. Upregulation or abnormal activation of EGFR is frequently found in glioblastomas, lung cancers, and breast cancers, among others.
