EGFR
A gene on chromosome 7p12 that encodes epidermal growth factor, a transmembrane glycoprotein of the protein kinase superfamily, which is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerisation and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation.Molecular pathology
