ErbB2 (HER2) is a member of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). This family includes EGF receptor, ErbB2, ErbB3, and ErbB4. The protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) catalyze the transfer of the γ-phosphoryl group of ATP to tyrosine. ErbB2 contains an extracellular domain of 617 amino acids, a transmembrane α-helix, and cytoplasmic domain of 570 amino acids that contains a tyrosine kinase domain and a carboxy-terminal regulatory sequence. The binding of EGF to EGFR and neuregulin to ErbB4 induces dimerization and subsequent activation of the tyrosine kinase domain and finally, autophosphorylation of the ErbB receptors. Ligands for ErbB2 have not been described. ErbB2 can homodimerize constitutively or form heterodimers with other ErbB receptors after their binding to related ligands. In addition, ErbB2 forms homodimers that are not ligand-dependent. ErbB2 mediates different downstream signaling pathways depending on its homodimerization or heterodimerization. The ErbB2 gene is amplified in 20% of the cases of invasive breast cancer and also overexpressed in gastric cancer. Herceptin (trastuzumab), a humanized antibody, has been used for the treatment of breast and gastric cancer. Genomic profiling of different types of tumors have shown amplification of ErbB2 in salivary, vaginal, bladder, endometrial, cervical, and colorectal cancer.
Product DetailsProduct Details
- Source
- Human HER2, amino acid (Gln24-Leu651) (Accession: NM_004448.2), with a C-terminal human IgG1 (Pro100-Lys330), and an Avi-tag, was expressed in CHO cells. Human HER2-Avi tag was site-specifically biotinylated by enzyme BirA.
- Molecular Mass
- The 891 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 98.3 kD. The protein migrates at approximately 120 kD and 240 kD by SDS-PAGE in DTT-reduced and non-reduced conditions, respectively. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Gln.
- Purity
- > 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE
- Formulation
- 0.22 µm filtered protein solution is in PBS pH 7.2.
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 EU per µg cytokine as determined by the LAL method
- Concentration
- 25 µg size is bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- Human HER2 is measured by its ability to block anti-human ErbB2/HER2 (clone 4D5-8, trastuzumab) antibody inhibition of SK-BR-3 cell proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is 0.1 – 0.6 µg/mL.
