Anti-c-erbB2 (HER-2, neu Receptor), clone 1.A.38

c-erbB-2 is a membrane-associated oncoprotein having considerable sequence homology to EGFR. C-erbB-2 is the second member of the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase family of growth factor receptors. Overexpression of c-erbB-2/HER-2 is reportedly a marker of poor prognosis in node-positive and in defined subsets of node-negative breast cancer. Elevated levels of c-erbB-2/HER-2 has also been implicated in response to chemotherapy. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunoaffinity Chromatography, ELISA and Western Blot.
