Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 is a protein tyrosine kinase that is encoded by the gene ERBB2. It belongs to the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family. The protein lacks a ligand binding domain and requires co-receptors for ligand binding. It functions as a transcriptional regulator by binding to cyclooxygenase enzyme COX-2 gene promoter. Overexpression of this gene has been observed in several types of cancer including breast and ovarian cancers. ErbB-2 enhances the EGF and NDF induced tyrosine phosphorylation of other ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
