This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Thisprotein has no ligand binding domain of its own and therefore cannot bind growth factors. However, it does bindtightly to other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members to form a heterodimer, stabilizing ligand binding andenhancing kinase-mediated activation of downstream signalling pathways, such as those involving mitogen-activatedprotein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Allelic variations at amino acid positions 654 and 655 ofisoform a (positions 624 and 625 of isoform b) have been reported, with the most common allele, Ile654/Ile655,shown here. Amplification and/or overexpression of this gene has been reported in numerous cancers, includingbreast and ovarian tumors. Alternative splicing results in several additional transcript variants, some encodingdifferent isoforms and others that have not been fully characterized.
