v-ErbB was identified as the viral counterpart of the EGF Receptor, and its relatives have adopted this nomenclature (or the HER nomenclature for human proteins). These proteins are activated by Heregulin, Neuregulin and Amphiregulin. ErbB-2/HER-2, also known as neu, is amplified in large numbers of highly aggressive breast cancers, but all the family members are capable of heterodimerization, and together activate downstream signaling pathways. ErbB-3 has a natural "substitution" at the codon which is an invariant Lys residue at the ATP-binding site of all protein kinases. It is therefore inactive as a kinase, and can only become phosphorylated by heterodimerization with another erbB-family member. All members of this family, when Tyr-phosphorylated, can nucleate the formation of signaling complexes through adapter proteins.

Specificity
The antibody reacts with c-erbB-2 which is a membrane associated oncoprotein that has considerable sequence homology with EGFR. Membrane preparations were made from SK-BR-3 mammary adenocarcinoma and A431 epidermoid carcinoma cell lines. SK-BR-3 expresses high levels of c-erbB-2 whilst A431 expresses high levels of EGFR.
The antibody has been used to detect c-erbB-2 in paraffin-embedded material from breast tumours.
This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases. This protein has no ligand binding domain of its own and therefore cannot bind growth factors. However, it does bind tightly to other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members to form a heterodimer, stabilizing ligand binding and enhancing kinase-mediated activation of downstream signalling pathways, such as those involving mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Allelic variations at amino acid positions 654 and 655 of isoform a (positions 624 and 625 of isoform b) have been reported, with the most common allele, Ile654/Ile655, shown here. Amplification and/or overexpression of this gene has been reported in numerous cancers, Including breast and ovarian tumors. Alternative splicing results in several additional transcript variants, some encoding different isoforms and others that have not been fully characterized.[provided by RefSeq].
FUNCTION: Essential component of a neuregulin-receptor complex, although neuregulins do not interact with it alone. GP30 is a potential ligand for this receptor. Not activated by EGF, TGF-alpha and amphiregulin.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate.
SUBUNIT: Heterodimer with each of the other ERBB receptors (Potential). Interacts with PRKCABP and PLXNB1. Part of a complex with EGFR and either PIK3C2A or PIK3C2B. May interact with PIK3C2B when phosphorylated on Tyr-1196. Interacts with MEMO when phosphorylated on Tyr-1248. Interacts with MUC1. Stimulation by heregulin (HRG) in breast cancer cell lines induces binding of MUC1 with gamma-catenin.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
PTM: Ligand-binding increases phosphorylation on tyrosine residues (By similarity).
POLYMORPHISM: There are fours alleles due to the variations in positions 654 and 655. Allele B1 (Ile-654/Ile-655) has a frequency of 0.782; allele B2 (Ile-654/Val-655) has a frequency of 0.206; allele B3 (Val-654/Val-655) has a frequency of 0.012.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. EGF receptor subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
