Abstract excerpt
Ligand-induced dimerization of growth factor receptors is crucial for stimulation of their intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity promoting receptor autophosphorylation by an intermolecular mechanism. Moreover, the suppressive and negative dominant action of defective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was shown to be caused by formation of inactive heterodimers with normal EGFR leading to diminished...
