HER4 antibody recognizes Erb-B2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4, commonly referred to as HER4 and also known as ERBB4, a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases. HER4 antibody, also referred to as ERBB4 antibody and ErbB4 antibody in the literature, detects a transmembrane receptor involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival signaling. Clone ERBB4/2581 is produced as a mouse monoclonal antibody and provides defined monoclonal detection of HER4 protein expression in research applications.
HER4 belongs to the ERBB receptor family, which includes EGFR, HER2, and HER3. Upon binding to ligands such as neuregulins and other EGF-like growth factors, HER4 undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation, activating downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-AKT, MAPK, and JAK-STAT cascades. These pathways regulate cellular growth, differentiation, and survival across multiple tissue types. Unlike some ERBB family members, HER4 can undergo proteolytic cleavage, releasing an intracellular domain that translocates to the nucleus and modulates gene transcription.
The ERBB4 gene is located on chromosome 2q34 and encodes multiple isoforms generated through alternative splicing. These isoforms differ in their cytoplasmic domain structure and signaling capacity, influencing tissue-specific functional outcomes. HER4 expression is observed in epithelial tissues, cardiac muscle, neural tissue, and mammary gland, where it contributes to developmental processes and tissue homeostasis.
Dysregulation of HER4 signaling has been implicated in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other malignancies. Depending on isoform context and cellular environment, HER4 has been reported to exhibit either oncogenic or differentiation-associated roles. Evaluation of HER4 expression patterns is therefore important in cancer biology and growth factor signaling research.
This HER4 antibody has been validated using protein microarray technology, supporting its specificity for ERBB4 among related protein targets. The mouse monoclonal clone ERBB4/2581 is suitable for research applications focused on receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, tumor biology, and ERBB pathway analysis.
Optimal dilution of the HER4 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant human partial protein (amino acids 1116-1269) was used as the immunogen for the protein microarray validated HER4 antibody.
Store the HER4 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
