The c-erbB-2 Protein in Oncogenesis: Molecular Structure to Molecular Epidemiology
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
The c-erbB-2 (HER-2, neu) oncogene has been implicated frequently in many human tumors. This oncogene codes for a 185-kDa protein that functions as a transmembrane growth factor receptor. Overexpression of the normal protein or point mutations in the transmembrane domain of the protein have been shown to have a transforming effect. Molecular structure studies of the transmembrane domain provide a plausible...
