Abstract excerpt
The product of the erbB-2 gene is a 185-kD receptor-like glycoprotein. erbB-2 gp185 displays constitutive tyrosine kinase activity and transforms NIH 3T3 cells when expressed 100-fold over the normal levels. We have analyzed the role of tyrosine kinase function and of receptor autophosphorylation in the regulation of erbB-2 biological activity. Abolition of erbB-2 gp185 tyrosine kinase function resulted in...
