Abstract excerpt
After binding to its ligand, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dimerizes and is autophosphorylated. These events initiate the signal transduction process, which regulates a plethora of biologic activity. The duration and strength of these signals are controlled by many regulatory mechanisms, including downregulating activated EGFR primarily via endocytosis and ubiquitination-dependent lysomal degradation....
