Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of HER2 (ErbB2) have been identified in human cancers. Compared with wild-type HER2, mutant HER2 shows constitutively activate kinase activity and increased oncogenicity. Cells transformed by mutant HER2 are resistant to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors and exhibit an attenuated response to the HER2 antibody trastuzumab. We...
