HER4 / ErbB4 recombinant protein
Recombinant Human / Rhesus macaque HER4 / ErbB4 Protein (His tag)
Description: A DNA sequence encoding the human ERBB4 (NP_005226.1) (Met1-Arg649) with a C-terminal polyhistidine tag was expressed. Human and Rhesus ERBB4 sequences are identical.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene is a member of the Tyr protein kinase family and the epidermal growth factor receptor subfamily. It encodes a single-pass type I membrane protein with multiple cysteine rich domains, a transmembrane domain, a tyrosine kinase domain, a phosphotidylinositol-3 kinase binding site and a PDZ domain binding motif. The protein binds to and is activated by neuregulins and other factors and induces a variety of cellular responses including mitogenesis and differentiation. Multiple proteolytic events allow for the release of a cytoplasmic fragment and an extracellular fragment. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cancer. Alternatively spliced variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described; however, not all variants have been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
HER4: a receptor tyrosine kinase of the EGFR family. Specifically binds and is activated by neuregulins, NRG- 2, NRG-3, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, betacellulin and NTAK. Heterodimerizes and signals with other EGF receptors. Interaction with these factors induces cell differentiation. Not activated by EGF, TGF-A, and amphiregulin. Interacts with PDZ domains of DLG2, DLG3, DLG4 and the syntrophin SNTB2. Interacts with WWOX. May act as a tumor suppressor: overexpressed in head and neck cancer , but downregulated in renal cancer, papillary carcinoma, high-grade gliomas and invasive breast cancer. 3 alternatively-spliced isoforms of the human protein have been reported.
