c-erbB-3/HER-3 is a member of the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase family.
It is a kinase defective receptor which signals by forming heterodimers with other erb family members.
c-erbB-3 is over-expressed in a variety of tumors including breast, stomach, pancreas and colon, although the significance is unclear because over-expression of c-erbB-3 has no effect on tumorigenic growth of cells.
Heregulin and EGF stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of c-erbB-3 to different extents.
This antibody can be used to assess the contribution of the other erb family members co-expressed with c-erbB-3 to ligand-dependent signaling because it inhibits the binding of heregulin (NDF) to c-erbB-3/HER-3.
Applications:Suitable for use in Immunocytochemistry, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Immunocytochemistry: 10ug/ml shows positive immunostaining for erbB-3 in MCF-7 cells fixed with 95% ethanol/5% acetic acid.
Western Blot: 0.1-2ug/ml detects erbB-3 (~185kD) in RIPA lysates of human MCF-7 cells; previous lots have detected erbB-3 in MDA RIPA lysates.
MCF-7 cell lysate was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with E3451-35.
Proteins were visualized using an IgG (HRP) goat anti-mouse and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Immunoprecipitation: 4ug antibody immunoprecipitates erbB-3 from human MDA and MCF-7 RIPA lysates.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:50-1:100 dilution of a previous lot detected erbB-3 membrane staining in human normal and carcinoma breast tissue.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:
Human breast adenocarcinoma (well-differentiated), mouse brain lysate, MCF-7 cell lysate.
