Protein SigNET: EGFR
Antibody Type: Polyclonal
Antibody Host Species: Rabbit
Antibody Immunogen Source: Human EGFR (ErbB1) sequence peptide Cat. No.: PE-01ATT90
Antibody Immunogen Sequence: CVIQGDERMHLPSPT
Antibody Immunogen Description: Corresponds to amino acid residues V980 to T993; Just after the catalytic domain of the kinase.
Production Method: The immunizing peptide was produced by solid phase synthesis on a multipep peptide synthesizer and purified by reverse-phase hplc chromatography. Purity was assessed by analytical hplc and the amino acid sequence confirmed by mass spectrometry analysis. This peptide was coupled to KLH prior to immunization into rabbits. New Zealand White rabbits were subcutaneously injected with KLH-coupled immunizing peptide every 4 weeks for 4 months. The sera from these animals was applied onto an agarose column to which the immunogen peptide was thio-linked. Antibody was eluted from the column with 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.5. Subsequently, the antibody solution was neutralized to pH 7.0 with saturated Tris.
Antibody Modification: Unconjugated. Contact KInexus if you are interest in having the antibody biotinylated or coupled with fluorescent dyes.

Scientific Background: EGFR (ERBB1, Erbb1, HER1) is a protein-tyrosine kinase of the TK group and EGFR family. It features three main domains: an extracellular ligand-binding domain (ECD), a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. EGFR regulates cell proliferation, division, motility, survival, and has other roles in tissue development. Although the encoded protein is 134 kDa based on its amono acid sequence, EGFR undergoes extensive post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation and glycosylation, which affects its measured mass on SDS-PAGE gels (typically 170-180 kDa. It is activated by binding epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGFa), which induce dimerization and autophosphorylation. Phosphorylation of Tyr-270 stimulates interaction with EGFR. Phosphorylation of Tyr-869 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with COX2. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1016 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with GrbB2, PLCg1, PTPN11 (SHP2), RasGAP, and Vav2. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1069 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with Cbl. Phosphorylation of Y1092 induces interaction with PLCg1, PTPN6 (SHP1) and Ras-GAP. Phosphorylation of Y1110 induces interaction with Ras-GAP. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1172 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with Dok1, EGFR, RasGAP, PTPN11 (SHP2), and Vav2. Phosphorylation of Tyr-1197 increases phosphotransferase activity and induces interaction with Cbl, EGR, PLCg1, RasGAP, SH3KBP1, Shc1, and PTPN6 (SHP1). EGFR is inhibited by phosphorylation at Thr-678, Ser-695 and Ser-1026. Phosphorylation of Thr-693, Ser-695, Ser-1070, Ser-1071, and Ser-1190 contributes to receptor internalization. EGFR is found on the plasma membrane, endosomes, and sometimes in the nucleus. It is a known oncoprotein (OP). Cancer-related mutations in human tumours point to a gain of function of the protein kinase. Constitutive activation of EGFR kinase activity has been seen with the mutations of V689M, E1005R+D1006K. Overexpression of EGFR, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), lead to uncontrolled cell division. The active form of the protein kinase normally promotes tumour cell proliferation.
