Anti-Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Phospho-Tyr1197 Antibody |
Description |
EGFR is a transmembrane
glycoprotein that is a member of a family of protein
tyrosine kinases crucial in maintaining a normal balance
in cell growth and development. Growth factor
receptors are involved not only in promoting the
proliferation of normal cells but also in the aberrant
growth of many types of human tumors. For example,
the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is mutated
and/or overexpressed in many common solid human
squamous cell carcinomas including breast, brain,
bladder, lung, gastric, head & neck, esophagus, cervix,
vulva, ovary, and endometrium. Over-expression of the
EGFR gene occurs in carcinomas with and without gene
amplification. EGFR and erbB-2 are particularly
important in breast cancer because increased
production or activation has been associated with poor
prognosis. EGFR belongs to a family of growth factor
receptors, which also includes ErbB-2/HER-2, ErbB-
3/HER-3 and ErbB-4/HER-4. EGFR can heterodimerize
with each of the members of this family. |

Specificity |
This affinity-purified antibody is directed against the phosphorylated form of human EGFR protein at
the pY1197 residue. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Antiserum
was first purified against the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then
cross-adsorbed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. Reactivity occurs against human EGFR
pY1197 protein and the antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of the protein. Reactivity with non-phosphorylated
human EGFR is minimal by ELISA. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with phosphorylated EGFR from
human, mouse and rat sources. Reactivity of this antibody with EGFR from other species is unknown. |
Immunogen |
This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1189-1199 of human EGFR protein. |
