Target Details for ErbB2/Her2

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

Alternative Name: CD340 / ERBB2 / HER2

Background: The EGF receptor family comprises several related receptor tyrosine kinases that are frequently overexpressed in a variety of carcinomas. Members of this receptor family include EGFR (HER1), Neu (ErbB-2, HER2), ErbB-3 (HER3), and ErbB-4 (HER4), which form either homodimers or heterodimers upon ligand binding. Neu, a 185 kDa glycoprotein, undergoes transactivation upon heterodimerizaion with other EGF receptor family members. Neu heterodimerization with ErbB-3 recruits heregulin, which induces phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase activation. Activation of Neu potentiates tumor cell motility and protease secretion and invasion, and also modulates cell cycle checkpoint function, DNA repair and apoptotic responses. Amplification and/or overexpression of Neu occurs in 20-30 % of breast carcinomas. Measurement of increased Neu expression can be a predictor of disease prognosis. Neu may also prove to bea promising target for therapeutic agents.Synonyms: HER-2, MNL19, NEU, NEU proto-oncogene, NGL, Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2, Tyrosine kinase-type cell surface receptor HER2, c-erbB-2, p185erbB2
