Epidermal growth factor mediates its effects on cell growth through its interaction with a cell surface glycoprotein designated the EGF receptor. Binding of EGF or TGFα to the EGF receptor activates tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity intrinsic to the EGF receptor. The carboxy-terminal tyrosine residues on EGFR, Tyr 1068 and Tyr 1173, are the major sites of autophosphorylation, which occurs as a result of EGF binding. Phosphorylation of Tyr 992, Tyr 1068 and Tyr 1086 is required for conformational change in the C-terminal tail of the EGF receptorgulates Actin filament accumulation at the plasma membrane and Cdc42 stimulates formation of filopodia.

Rabbit

This antibody detects endogenous levels of EGFR protein only when phosphorylated at Tyr992 (removal of the signal peptide).

Synthetic phosphopeptide derived from human EGFR around the phosphorylation site of Tyrosine 992.

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

PBS with 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol, pH7.2
