Summary
The EGFR is a human receptor tyrosine kinase meaning its catalytic activity is derived from the phosphorylation of a tyrosine. The binding of an appropriate ligand to the protein causes a signal cascade within the cell. EGFR is a membrane spanning protein which enables the protein to bind ligands outside of the membrane and catalyze reactions within the membrane. EGFR is a known oncogene and is believed to play a role in the development of non-small cell lung cancer.
