Abstract excerpt
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is activated by ionizing radiation (IR) in many human carcinomas, mediating a cytoprotective response and subsequent radioresistance. The underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be understood, and we propose here a specific role for the Tyr-992 residue of EGFR and examine its regulation by the phosphatase, SHP2. The -fold increase in phosphorylation of Tyr-992 in...
