描述：

HER2/ErbB2 Antibody 能检测内源总ErbB2蛋白的表达水平。本抗体不与其它相关激酶发生交叉反应。多克隆抗体通过用多肽免疫动物得到，该多肽是根据人的ErbB2蛋白Tyr1222附近的氨基酸序列合成的。抗体经过protein A和亲和层析纯化。

原癌基因ErbB2 (HER2)编码185kDa的受体样跨膜糖蛋白，该蛋白具有固有的酪氨酸激酶的活性 (1)。ErbB2的配体目前尚不清楚，但在高表达的ErbB2与其它ErbB家族成员形成异源二聚体时，即使缺少配体，其酶活性仍能被激活(2)。将近40%的人类乳腺癌中能够检测到ErbB2基因的扩增及其产物的过量表达。泛素连接酶c-Cbl结合在ErbB2的Tyr1112上能够导致ErbB2聚泛素化并促进其降解(4)。ErbB2是乳腺癌等多种癌肿的关键治疗靶点，通过c-Cbl介导的蛋白水解途径靶向调控ErbB2的降解是一种潜在的治疗手段。磷酸化ErbB2的激酶位点Tyr877（同源于pp60c-Src 的Tyr416）能调控ErbB2的生物活性。ErbB2的自磷酸化位点是Tyr1248和 Tyr1221/1222，这些位点的磷酸化将ErbB2与Ras-Raf-MAP激酶的信号转导途径联系起来(1,5)。

Specificity / Sensitivity

HER2/ErbB2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total ErbB2 protein. The antibody does not cross-react with related kinases.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Tyr1222 of human ErbB2. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

The ErbB2 (HER2) proto-oncogene encodes a 185 kDa transmembrane, receptor-like glycoprotein with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity (1). While ErbB2 lacks an identified ligand, ErbB2 kinase activity can be activated in the absence of a ligand when overexpressed and through heteromeric associations with other ErbB family members (2). Amplification of the ErbB2 gene and overexpression of its product are detected in almost 40% of human breast cancers (3). Binding of the c-Cbl ubiquitin ligase to ErbB2 at Tyr1112 leads to ErbB2 poly-ubiquitination and enhances degradation of this kinase (4). ErbB2 is a key therapeutic target in the treatment of breast cancer and other carcinomas and targeting the regulation of ErbB2 degradation by the c-Cbl-regulated proteolytic pathway is one potential therapeutic strategy. Phosphorylation of the kinase domain residue Tyr877 of ErbB2 (homologous to Tyr416 of pp60c-Src) may be involved in regulating ErbB2 biological activity. The major autophosphorylation sites in ErbB2 are Tyr1248 and Tyr1221/1222; phosphorylation of these sites couples ErbB2 to the Ras-Raf-MAP kinase signal transduction pathway (1,5).
