Anti-HER2 / ErbB2, clone ERB2/776

0.2 mg/ml with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. ErbB2, also called HER2, is a member of the EGFR family. Receptors of this family are located on the plasma membrane and consist of an extracellular ligand-binding domain that is connected to a large intracellular domain by a single transmembrane sequence. This ErbB2 antibody shows minimal cross-reaction with other members of the family. The protein is over-expressed in a variety of carcinomas especially those of breast and ovary. Protein function: Protein tyrosine kinase that is part of several cell surface receptor complexes, but that apparently needs a coreceptor for ligand binding. Essential component of a neuregulin-receptor complex, although neuregulins do not interact with it alone. GP30 is a potential ligand for this receptor. Regulates outgrowth and stabilization of peripheral microtubules (MTs). Upon ERBB2 activation, the MEMO1-RHOA-DIAPH1 signaling pathway elicits the phosphorylation and thus the inhibition of GSK3B at cell membrane. This prevents the phosphorylation of APC and CLASP2, allowing its association with the cell membrane. In turn, membrane-bound APC allows the localization of MACF1 to the cell membrane, which is required for microtubule capture and stabilization. [The UniProt Consortium]
