General description
Anti-dEGF Receptor, Extracellular Domain antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma C-273 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS1 cells) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a recombinant protein encoding at the extracellular portion of Drosophila epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Drosophila EGF receptor, also known as Torpedo or DER has four ligands: Gurken, Spitz (the principle ligand), Vein and Argos. Two accessory proteins modulate its signalling: Rhomboid and Star.
Application
Suitable for the following:
- Immunohistochemistry
- Indirect ELISA
- Western blotting at a concentration of 0.25-0.5μg/mL using recombinant protein representing amino acids 299-359 of the Drosophila EGFR extracellular domain
Biochem/physiol Actions
Drosophila epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is involved in many developmental processes such as: egg polarity, cell identity in the ventral ectoderm, neurogenesis, development of the Malpighian tubules, and larval eye and wing development. The downstream signalling molecules that are activated by the Drosophila EGF receptor include: Src homology (Shc), DRK (a homolog of mammalian Grb2), a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (SOS) activated by DRK, and downstream targets including orthologs of Ras, Raf, and Rolled (MAP Kinase).
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) binds to its cognate ligands that lead to autophosphorylation of receptor tyrosine kinase and subsequent activation of signal transduction pathways that are involved in regulating cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival. EGFR is overexpressed in tumor cell lines and is associated with poor prognosis leading to decreased survival. Its activation also plays a role in resistance to chemotherapy and radiation treatment in tumor cells. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) may act as a new treatment option for advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Its ligands function in the Drosophila CNS and maintains glial survival. Drosophila EGF receptor plays a critical role during the development of Drosophila retina.
