Description

General description

EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) is a transmembrane protein and a member of a family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) called ErbB (avian erythroblastosis oncogene B). It contains a ligand-binding domain in its extracellular region, one transmembrane domain, and a tyrosine kinase-containing domain in its cytosolic region. EGFR is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 7p11.2.

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Upon activation by ligands, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, ErbB1) initiates a signaling cascade which includes dimerization and internalization, tyrosine phosphorylation, DNA synthesis of target genes, and, ultimately, cell proliferation. EGFR signaling plays a role in the growth and differentiation of normal cells, but elevated EGFR activity is correlated with the development and pathogenesis of certain cancers.
