ErbB3, phosphorylated (Tyr1221/1222), Human (c-erbB3, HER3), BioAssay ELISA Kit

The ErbB2 (HER2) proto-oncogene encodes a transmembrane receptor-like glycoprotein of 185kD with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity (1). ErbB2 does not have any known ligand. However, the kinase activity of ErbB2 can be activated without ligand if it is overexpressed and by heteromeric association with other members of the ErbB family (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 Tyr1112 of ErbB2 leads to poly-ubiquitination of ErbB2 and enhances its degradation (4). ErbB2 is one of the major targets for the treatment of breast cancer and other carcinomas. Direction of ErbB2 to the c-Cbl-regulated proteolytic pathway may have therapeutic potential. Tyr877 of ErbB2 is homologous to Tyr416 of pp60c-Src, located in the kinase domain. Phosphorylation of this site may be involved in regulation of ErbB2 biological activity. Tyr1248 and Tyr1221/1222 are the major autophosphorylation sites in ErbB2. Phosphorylation of these sites couples ErbB2 to the Ras-Raf-MAP kinase signal transduction pathway (1,5). 1 Kit (96 assays) 12 8-well modules -Each module is designed to break apart for 8 tests., , Kit Includes Volume Solution Color, HER2/ErbB2 mouse mAb coated microwells 96 tests , Phospho-HER2/ErbB2 (Tyr1221/1222) Detection Ab 11 ml Green, Anti-rabbit IgG HRP-Linked Ab 11 ml Red, TMB Substrate 11 ml Colorless, STOP Solution 11 ml Colorless, 20X Wash Buffer 25 ml Colorless, Sample Diluent 25 m/ Blue, Sealing Tape 2 sheets , Cell Lysis Buffer (10X) 15 ml , , Kit should be stored at 4°C with the exception of Cell Lysis Buffer (10X), which is stored at -20°C (packaged separately).
