Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * EREG is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 130 kDa. * It is expressed in a variety of cell types, including macrophages, lung cells, and cancer cells. * EREG binds to various growth factor receptors, including EGFR, ERBB2, and ERBB4. * Upon binding to these receptors, EREG triggers downstream signaling pathways that promote cell growth, survival, and migration. * It is also involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. **Pathways and functions:** * EREG signaling through EGFR is critical for the growth and survival of cancer cells. * It promotes cell cycle progression, inhibits apoptosis, and facilitates cell migration. * It also plays a role in the regulation of angiogenesis and tumor growth. * Blockade of EREG signaling with antibodies or small molecules can inhibit cancer cell growth and metastasis. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the EREG gene have been linked to the development of several human cancers, including lung cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer. * Targeting EREG signaling has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for cancer treatment. * Several drugs, such as erlotinib (Tarceva), are currently used in clinical practice to inhibit EREG signaling in cancer. **Additional points:** * EREG is a highly conserved protein with a similar sequence in mammals. * It is a promising target for cancer immunotherapy due to its role in promoting cancer growth and metastasis. * Further research is needed to develop more effective and selective EREG inhibitors for cancer therapy.
