Description

HER2 is also known as receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (v-erb-b2 erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 2),  metastatic lymph node gene 19 protein, proto-oncogene Neu, p185erbB2. It is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK).  Four members of the EGFR family have been identified: EGFR (ERBB1, HER1), HER2 (ERBB2), HER3 (ERBB3) and HER4 (ERBB4).  They typically contain an extracellular ligand binding domain (ECD), a transmembrane domain (TM), and an intracellular kinase domain that can interact with a multitude of signaling molecules and exhibit both ligand-dependent and ligand-independent activity.  EGFR signaling is initiated by ligand binding to the extracellular ligand binding domain. This initiates receptor homo-/hetero-dimerization and autophosphorylation by the intracellular kinase domain, resulting in receptor activation. Following activation, phosphorylation of cytoplasmic substrates occurs and a signaling cascade is initiated that drives many cellular responses, including changes in gene expression, cytoskeletal rearrangement, anti-apoptosis and increased cell proliferation.  HER2 has no ligand binding domain of its own and therefore cannot bind growth factors.  However, it does bind tightly to other ligand-bound EGFR family members to form a heterodimer, stabilizing ligand binding and enhancing kinase-mediated activation of downstream signalling pathways.  Amplification or overexpression of HER2 has been reported in multiple cancers, including breast and ovarian tumors.  HER2 is the target of several anti-cancer therapeutics. The purified recombinant monoclonal antibody binds human HER2 with high affinity, blocks HER2 signaling activity and inhibits HER2-overexpressing tumor cell growth.

 


 

Gene Symbol: HER2; ERBB2; CD340; NGL; TKR1; MLN19; HER-2/neu

 

NCBI Gene ID: 2064

 

Uniprot Entry: P04626

 

Construct Details: Expressed as the combination of a heavy chain (HC) containing VH from anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) and CH1-3 region of human IgG1 and a light chain (LC) encoding VL from anti-HER2 mAb and CL of human kappa light chain.  Exists as a disulfide linked dimer of the HC and LC hetero-dimer under non-reducing condition (see the gel image above, labeled as DTT "-").

 

Source:  Mamamlian cells stably expressing anti-HER2 human heavy chain and light chain and growing in chemical-defined media with no animal components or antibiotics

 

M.W.: Calculated molecular mass (kDa): 146 (49 kDa for a single HC, 24 kDa for a single LC); Estimated by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing condition(kDa): 150.

 

Purity: >95% judged by SDS-PAGE under reducing condition (see the gel image above, labeled as DTT "+")

 

Formulation: Supplied at 1.0 mg/ml in sterile PBS pH7.4 (carrier free).

 

Endotoxin Level: <0.1 EU per 1 μg of purified recombinant protein determined by the LAL method

 

Biological Activity: The recombinant antibody binds HER2 extracellular domain (SKU#FCL0220, #FCL0088) with high affinity (KD < 1 nM as measured by ELISA - see the Technical Data) and recognizes cell surface HER2 by flow cytometry, IHC staining and fluorescent microscopy. This recombinant antibody has the same binding specificity as anti-HER2 mIgG2a (SKU#MAB0061) and anti-HER2 rabbit IgG (SKU#MAB0334).

Recombinant HER2 ECD protein (SKU#FCL0220) was immobilized at 10 ng/well on a 96-well ELISA plate and incubated with serially diluted anti-HER2 human IgG1 monoclonal antibody (SKU#MAB0203). Anti-EGFR (SKU#MAB0118) human IgG1 monoclonal antibody was used as a control to demonstrate the specificity of HER2 binding under the experimental conditions.  The bound antibodies were detected by goat anti-human IgG HRP-conjugated secondary antibody.  The ELISA binding curve was fit and KD was calculated for anti-HER2 : HER2 binding (affinity/avidity) to be 299 ± 13 pM.
