Epidermal growth factor receptor

Gene Summary

Enables epidermal growth factor-activated receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; oogenesis; and open tracheal system development. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Colocalizes with cytoneme. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm anlage; germ layer; gut section; head; and imaginal disc. Used to study alcohol use disorder and cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 19; breast cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and spinal disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including ERBB4 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
