Overexpression of the c‐erbB‐2/neu–encoded p185 protein in primary lung cancer
1 Jan 1992
Abstract excerpt
The c-erbB-2/neu gene encodes a transmembrane protein of 185 kDa (p185) with tyrosine kinase activity and extensive sequence homology to epidermal growth factor receptor. Amplification and overexpression of the c-erbB-2/neu gene has been shown in certain human tumors and is postulated to be important in human carcinogenesis. High levels of expression of the c-erbB-2/neu gene have been reported in non-small-cell...
