SpecificityThis antibody is specific for EGFR as demonstrated by western blotting.
Species ReactivityHuman, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionE.coli-derived human EGFR recombinant protein (Position: L25-K346). Human EGFR shares 89% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse EGFR.
Application DetailsWestern Blot (0.1-0.5 µg/mL): tested on human and rat cell lines. Other applications not yet tested. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundEpidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Receptor binds to EGF and other members of the EGF family such as TGF-alpha, amphiregulin, betacellulin, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor, GP30 and vaccinia virus growth factor. At least 4 isoforms are produced by alternative splicing (reference SWISSPROT). The EGF receptor is a single-pass type I membrane protein containing an extracellular receptor domain, a transmembrane region and an intracellular domain with tyrosine kinase function
Western Blot analysis of EGFR expression in HELA (1), A549 (2) and A431 (3) whole cell lysates (40 µg/lane). The observed molecular weight of ~200 kDa corresponds to glycosylated EGFR.
