Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the ERBB2 gene and is also widely known as HER2 or ErbB2. The HER2 Antibody - Protein Microarray Validated | ERBB2 (clone ERBB2/3092) is developed to detect this membrane-associated receptor in research applications involving epithelial biology and tumor profiling. ERBB2 is located on chromosome 17q12 and encodes a member of the ErbB family of transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases, which also includes EGFR, ERBB3, and ERBB4.
HER2 is a single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein composed of an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a transmembrane segment, and an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Unlike other ErbB receptors, HER2 does not have a known direct ligand and instead functions as a preferred dimerization partner for other family members. Upon heterodimerization, the intracellular kinase domain becomes activated, leading to autophosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues and downstream signaling through pathways such as PI3K-AKT and MAPK. These pathways regulate cellular proliferation, survival, differentiation, and migration.
In normal tissues, ERBB2 expression is observed in epithelial cells of the breast, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs, where it contributes to regulated growth signaling. Amplification or overexpression of HER2 is strongly associated with breast carcinoma and has also been documented in gastric, ovarian, and other epithelial malignancies. Increased ERBB2 gene copy number leads to receptor overexpression at the cell membrane, promoting constitutive signaling and oncogenic transformation. As a result, HER2 has become one of the most extensively studied biomarkers in oncology research.
Protein microarray validation supports the specificity of clone ERBB2/3092, demonstrating preferential recognition of ERBB2 among thousands of human proteins assessed in high-content screening platforms. This mouse monoclonal antibody supports research applications focused on HER2 signaling, receptor overexpression in cancer biology, and evaluation of ErbB family protein expression patterns.
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the tissue array validated HER2 antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.
1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
A portion of amino acids 311-462 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this HER2 antibody.
Store the HER2 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
