Invitrogen™ Phospho-EGFR (Tyr1068) Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ 44788G

Catalog No. 44-788-G

Description

Purified from rabbit serum by sequential epitope-specific chromatography, this product contains enough material for 10 mini-blots. The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using an EGFR-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at tyrosine 1068. Positive controls used in western analysis were human epidermoid carcinoma (A431) cells +/- EGF.

EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor, is a receptor tyrosine kinases that signals in response to various growth factors. Overexpression has been linked to numerous types of cancer and EGFR is the target of both biological and small molecular therapeutics. EGFR is encoded by the EGFR gene located on chromosome 7 in humans. EGFR belongs to the HER/ERbB family of proteins that includes three other receptor tyrosine kinases, ERbB2, ERbB3, ERbB4. EGFR is a transmembrane receptor and binding of its cognate ligands such as EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) and TGF alpha (Transforming Growth Factor alpha) to the extracellular domain leads to EGFR dimerization followed by autophosphorylation of the tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic domain. Overexpression is observed in tumors of the head and neck, brain, bladder, stomach, breast, lung, endometrium, cervix, vulva, ovary, esophagus, stomach and in squamous cell carcinoma.
