The EGF receptor (EGFR), a 180kD transmembrane tyrosine kinase, is part of the ErbB family which mediate ligand induced signaling as heterodimers. Ligand binding results in activation of the intrinsic kinase activity and autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues within and surrounding the kinase domain. The phospho-tyrosine residues serve as docking sites for adapter proteins that nucleate signaling complexes that result in the activation of the Ras, PI-3 kinase and PLC-g pathways. EGFR, which transduces the biological effects of EGF and TGF-a, is frequently over-expressed in solid tumors.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
