Figure 1. Electron Microscopy Image of internalized EGF-R antibody complexes in A431 cells. The cells were stained with AM20237PU-N/AM20237PU-S for 1h at 4°C, followd by Peroxidase-conjugated Goat anti-Mouse IgG. After fixation with 2.5% glutaraldehyde, the signal was detected using DAB (0.6 mg/ml) for 20 min at RT. The cells were then processed for the preparation of ultrathin sections. Reins HA at al.

• Background: Protein kinases are enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from a phosphate donor onto an acceptor amino acid in a substrate protein. By this basic mechanism, protein kinases mediate most of the signal transduction in eukaryotic cells, regulating cellular metabolism, transcription, cell cycle progression, cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell movement, apoptosis, and differentiation. The protein kinase family is one of the largest families of proteins in eukaryotes, classified in 8 major groups based on sequence comparison of their tyrosine (PTK) or serine/threonine (STK) kinase catalytic domains. Epidermal Growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the prototype member of the type 1 receptor tyrosine kinases. EGFR overexpression in tumors indicates poor prognosis and is observed in tumors of the head and neck, brain, bladder, stomach, breast, lung, endometrium, cervix, vulva, ovary, esophagus, stomach and in squamous cell carcinoma.
• Synonyms: Epidermal growth factor receptor, EGF Receptor, erbB-1, c-ErbB-1
