Background: EGFR

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a member of a subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases comprised of four members: EGFR (also known as HER-1, ErbB1, or ErbB), ErbB2 (Neu, HER-2), ErbB3 (HER-3), and ErbB4 (HER-4). All family members are type I transmembrane glycoproteins with an extracellular domain (ECD) containing two cysteine-rich domains separated by a spacer region and a cytoplasmic domain containing a tyrosine kinase domain followed by multiple tyrosine autophosphorylation sites (1, 2). Several soluble isoforms lacking the intracellular domain are generated by alternate splicing (3, 4). The mature ECD of rat EGFR shares 89% and 95% amino acid sequence identity with human and mouse EGFR, respectively. EGFR binds a subset of the EGF family ligands, including EGF, amphiregulin, TGF-alpha, betacellulin, epiregulin, HB-EGF, and epigen (1, 2). Ligand binding induces EGFR homodimerization as well as heterodimerization with ErbB2, resulting in kinase activation, heterodimerization tyrosine phosphorylation and cell signaling (5‑7). EGFR can also be recruited to form heterodimers with the ligand‑activated ErbB3 or ErbB4. EGFR signaling regulates multiple biological functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and apoptosis (5-7). EGFR is overexpressed in a wide variety of tumors and is the target of several anti-cancer drugs (8).
