Specificity
Rabbit anti EGF R (pTyr1045) antibody recognizes the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF R), also known as proto-oncogene c-ErbB-1 or receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-1, when phosphorylated at tyrosine 1045. EGF R is a transmembrane glycoprotein and a member of the ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase family. EGF R plays a role in numerous cellular processes such as cell proliferation and apoptosis through the activation of downstream signaling pathways (Scaltriti, M. & Baselga, J. 2006). The E3 ubiquitin ligase, Cbl, binds to tyrosine 1045 upon its phosphorylation (Levkowitz, G. et al. 1999) and mediates its monoubiquitination, which results in receptor endocytosis followed by endosomal/lysosomal sorting (Grøvdal, L.M. et al. 2004 and Haglund, K. & Dikic, I. 2012).
