epidermal growth factor receptor family

E903677

The epidermal growth factor receptor family is a group of closely related receptor tyrosine kinases (including EGFR/HER1, HER2, HER3, and HER4) that regulate cell growth, survival, and differentiation and are key targets in cancer biology and therapy.
