General description

The members of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF R) or the ErbB receptor family have been identified as useful biomarkers and targets for cancer therapy. The EGFR family includes four receptor tyrosine kinases, EGF R (ErbB1), ErbB2 (neu), ErbB3, and ErbB4. EGF R binds EGF and induces tyrosine phosphorylation leading to proliferation of cells. EGF R is present on many cell types of epithelial and mesenchymal lineages. EGF R is capable of binding transforming growth factor-α and heparin-binding EGF in addition to EGF. There are numerous effector molecule activated by EGF R that result in a variety of biological processes such as morphogenesis, cell motility, apoptosis, differentiation and organ repair and maintenance. Deregulation of EGF R signaling is implicated in progression of a wide variety of tumors, invasion and metastasis
Monoclonal anti-EGF Receptor detects human EGF receptor. This antibody shows no cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse EGF R, recombinant human ErbB2, recombinant mouse ErbB2, recombinant human ErbB3, or recombinant human ErbB4.

Immunogen

purified, NSO cell-derived recombinant human epidermal growth factor receptor extracellular domain.

Application

Anti-EGF R antibody may be used at a working concentration of 1-2 μg/ml for detection of human EGF R by immunoblotting.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.
