ErbB2/Her2 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN2688859

Product Details anti-ErbB2/Her2 Antibody

Target: ErbB2/Her2 (Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (ErbB2/Her2))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Characteristics: C-erbB-2 (also known as HER2/neu), a 185 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein, is a member of the type 1 growth factor receptor subfamily which also includes c-erbB-3, c-erbB-4 and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (also known as c-erbB-1). Members of this receptor subfamily mediate the proliferation and differentiation of normal cells. They have a common structure consisting of an extracellular domain, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic sequence. The extracellular regions contain two cysteine-rich domains, and the intracellular regions have sequence homology to known tyrosine kinases. C-erbB-3 reactivity has been detected in proximal kidney tubules, mucosal epithelium in the gastointenstinal tract, and squamous epithelium in skin. Most other normal adult tissue show little or no reactivity with antibodies against c-erbB-2, including breast, ovary, spleen, liver, bone marrow, prostate, adrenal, and lung. However, c-erbB-2 is overexpressed in many human breast, stomach, ovary and bladder carcinomas. EGFR, c-erbB-3 and c-erbB-4 are also overexpressed in various human tumor cells, and it is thought that aberrant activation of type 1 growth factor kinase activities may contribute to tumor progression.
