ERBB2 encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases.
Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 has no ligand binding domain of its own and therefore cannot bind growth factors.
However, it does bind tightly to other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members to form a heterodimer, stabilizing ligand binding and enhancing kinase-mediated activation of downstream signalling pathways, such as those involving mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase.
Allelic variations at amino acid positions 654aa and 655aa of isoform a (positions 624aa and 625aa of isoform b) have been reported, with the most common allele, Ile654/Ile655, shown here.
Amplification and/or overexpression of this gene has been reported in numerous cancers, including breast and ovarian tumors.
Alternative splicing results in several additional transcript variants, some encoding different isoforms and others that have not been fully characterized.
