Anti-EGFR Antibody, clone 225 (Azide-free) is an antibody against EGFR for use in Immunoprecipitation, Neutralizing.

General description

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; Proto-oncogene c-ErbB-1) is a ubiquitously receptor tyrosine kinase that is activated by a variety of ligands including EGF, EPGN, TGFA, and EREG. Ligand-bound EGFR undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation exposing cytoplasmic domains which allow interaction with adaptor proteins and induction of several signaling pathways including PI3-AKT; PLCγ-PKC; Notch1; and Ras-Raf. EGFR therefore contributes to a diverse range of cellular processes inlcuding cell proliferation. Several studies have reported that EGFR signaling plays an important role in the development of various tumors. EGFR is regulated by PTPRJ and PTPRK phosphatases, and by the endocytic machinery including EPS15 that mediates internalization and degradation of the receptor.

Target description

~170 kDa observed. Uniprot gives a calculated molecular weight of 135 but can be observed at ~170 kDa due to phosphorylation. (Konishi, A., et al. (2003). The Journal of Biological Chemistry. 278(37):35049–35056.)
