Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-4 (ERBB4), commonly known as HER4, is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family that regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival signaling. HER4 antibody, also referred to as ERBB4 antibody and ErbB4 antibody in the literature, detects a transmembrane receptor expressed across multiple tissue types and involved in growth factor-mediated signaling pathways. Clone ERBB4/2581 is produced as a mouse monoclonal antibody and enables consistent detection of HER4 protein expression in research applications.
HER4 functions within 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 a wide range of biological contexts.
In contrast to other ERBB family members, HER4 can undergo regulated proteolytic cleavage, releasing an intracellular domain that translocates to the nucleus and participates in transcriptional regulation. This feature contributes to the complex and context-dependent roles of HER4 in both normal physiology and disease states.
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 expression and cellular context, HER4 has been reported to exhibit both tumor-promoting and differentiation-associated roles. Evaluation of HER4 expression is therefore important in studies of cancer biology and ERBB receptor signaling networks.
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 provides defined monoclonal detection suitable for receptor tyrosine kinase research and tumor signaling analysis.
HER2 is a member of the ERBB receptor family and plays a central role in receptor signaling; see our HER2 antibody page for detection of ERBB2 expression. This antibody is part of a broader antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
Optimal dilution of the HER4 Antibody / ERBB4 Tumor Signaling 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).
