β¦ Synopsis
The erb type 1 tyrosine kinase receptors are important for mediating proliferation and differentiation, and aberrant activation may contribute to tumour development and progression. They comprise epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), c-erbB-2, c-erbB-3, and c-erbB-4. There are overlaps and differences in the cellular distribution of the four receptors, which is of significance since they can form heterodimers that give differing responses to different ligands. The different distributions could be of particular importance in cancer if therapeutic modalities are identified to inhibit or stimulate the different ligands. 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract Recent experimental evidences begin to support the notion that the __proto__βoncogene HER2 (__erb__Bβ2) might unexpectedly function to modulate the adipogenic conversion of preadipocytes. Two opposing scenarios have been proposed, however, to explain the influence of HER2 on adipocyte d
Cancer chemoprevention trials can be directed at targeting established molecular mechanisms which contribute to neoplasia. One potential target is the ErbB/HER family of growth factor receptors with intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. This group of four receptors mediates the action of multiple stro
Expression of the c-erbB3 protein was determined in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder by immunohistochemistry. Strong membrane staining was observed in 10 per cent of cases (7/70) and cytoplasmic and membrane overexpression in 20 per cent (14/70). Overexpression of the epidermal growth fact
