Tyrosine Kinase Erbb-3 (ErbB3) Human Recombinant Protein

HER3: a receptor tyrosine kinase of the EGFR family. Binds and is activated by neuregulins and NTAK. Can form homodimers or ErbB-2/ErbB-3 heterodimers. Kinase domain lacks activity but heterodimerizes with other EGFRs to transduce growth signals. May be required for HER2 activity. Elevated expression in breast and other tumors is indicative of poor outcome. A secreted form is expressed in metastatic prostate cancer Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.
