p-EGFR Antibody (10G12): sc-81487

p-EGFR Antibody (10G12) is a mouse monoclonal IgG3 antibody that detects phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP). Anti-EGFR antibody (10G12) is raised against a synthetic phosphopeptide surrounding tyrosine 1148 of EGFR of human origin. EGFR is primarily located on the cell surface, where EGFR functions as a receptor for epidermal growth factors, mediating various cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and survival. EGFR′s location enables transduction of extracellular signals into intracellular responses, initiating cascades that lead to cell division and tissue repair. Dysregulation of EGFR signaling is implicated in numerous cancers, as mutations or overexpression can result in uncontrolled cell proliferation and survival, driving tumorigenesis. Constitutive activation of EGFR is associated with enhanced metastatic potential, enabling cancer cells to invade surrounding tissues and establish secondary tumors. Aberrant EGFR signaling can confer resistance to conventional therapies, further complicating cancer treatment and underscoring the need for targeted therapeutic strategies. Phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues on EGFR, such as Tyr 1092 and Tyr 1173, is essential for activation and subsequent signaling, highlighting the importance of monitoring these modifications in research and clinical settings. EGFR monoclonal antibody (10G12) enables researchers to gain valuable insights into the mechanisms of EGFR activation and implications in various diseases, particularly in cancer biology.
