Recombinant FITC-Labeled Human EGFRVIII Protein is expressed in HEK293 cells with a His tag and Avi tag at the C-terminus. It contains amino acid residues Leu25-Ser378 (accession: NP_001333870.1).
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in a variety of human epithelial tumors, often as a consequence of gene amplification. Tumors with EGFR gene amplification frequently contain EGFR gene rearrangements, with the most common extracellular domain mutation being EGFRvIII. This mutation leads to a deletion of exons 2-7 of the EGFR gene and renders the mutant receptor incapable of binding any known ligand.
