Gene Description

Epidermal growth factor receptor is a single-pass receptor tyrosine kinase for EGF-family ligands. Ligand-induced dimerization activates receptor autophosphorylation and docking of signaling adaptors, coupling the plasma membrane receptor to RAS-MAPK, PI3K-AKT, PLC-gamma/PKC, STAT, endocytic trafficking, proliferation, differentiation, and survival outputs.
