	ErbB2	This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases. This protein has no ligand binding domain of its own and therefore cannot bind growth factors. However, it does bind tightly to other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members to form a heterodimer, stabilizing ligand binding and enhancing kinase-mediated activation of downstream signalling pathways, such as those involving mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Allelic variations at amino acid positions 654 and 655 of isoform a (positions 624 and 625 of isoform b) have been reported, with the most common allele, Ile654/Ile655, shown here. Amplification and/or overexpression of this gene has been reported in numerous cancers, including breast and ovarian tumors. Alternative splicing results in several additional transcript variants, some encoding different isoforms and others that have not been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

		ErbB2/Her2 in MCF-7 Human Cell Line. ErbB2/Her2 was detected in immersion fixed MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line using Goat Anti-Human ErbB2/Her2 Biotinylated Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # BAF1129) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Streptavidin (yellow; Catalog # NL999) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

		ErbB2/Her2 in Human Breast Cancer Tissue. ErbB2/Her2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human breast cancer tissue using Goat Anti-Human ErbB2/Her2 Biotinylated Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # BAF1129) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to plasma membrane.
