Background: c-erbB-2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase. It exhibits extracellular domains with two cysteine-rich sequences, and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain flanked by large hydrophilic tails that carry several tyrosine autophosphorylation sites. Approximately 25% of primary breast and ovarian tumors were found to overexpress the protein.
Positive Control: Breast carcinomas
Immunogen: Full-length recombinant c-erbB-2/HER2/neu protein.
Purification Method: Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation
Concentration: See vial for concentration
Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide
