摘要: Members of the receptor tyrosine kinase family, that include EGFR, ErbB-2/HER-2, ErbB-3/HER-3 and ErbB-4/HER-4, are frequently implicated in experimental models epithelial cell neoplasia as well human cancers. Therefore, interference with activation these growth factor receptors represents a promising strategy for development novel selective anticancer therapies. Indeed, number inhibitors target either EGFR or HER-2, exception few both; have been developed treatment Since most solid tumors express different ErbB and/or their ligands, identification inhibitor(s), targeting multiple family members may provide therapeutic benefit to broader patient population. Here we describe significance an cancers, summarize available therapeutics receptors. It also emphasizes need develop pan-ErbB discusses EGF-Receptor Related Protein, recently isolated negative regulator potential wide variety
