Molecular Characterization
Other Tags and Version Biotin & Other Labeled Version
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 40.5 kDa. The protein migrates as 55-80 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method / rFC method.
Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
>95% as determined by SEC-MALS.
Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Background
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB-1; HER1 in humans) is the cell-surface receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family (EGF-family) of extracellular protein ligands. The epidermal growth factor receptor is a member of the ErbB family of receptors, a subfamily of four closely related receptor tyrosine kinases: EGFR (ErbB-1), HER2/c-neu (ErbB-2), Her 3 (ErbB-3) and Her 4 (ErbB-4). Mutations affecting EGFR expression or activity could result in cancer.
The type III EGF deletion mutant receptor (EGFRvIII) is the most common mutation and was first identified in primary human glioblastoma tumors. This tumor-specific antigen is ligand-independent, contains a constitutively active tyrosine kinase domain, and has been shown to be present in a number of human malignancies. EGFRvIII has been selected as a target for CAR-modified T-cell studies in recent years.
