Recombinant human HER4 (amino acids 682-993) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. HER4 or ERBB4 is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that belongs to the EGF receptor family. Through its interaction with its activating ligand, heregulin, HER4 can regulate proliferation and differentiation of cells. HER4 ectodomain is cleaved by a metalloprotease, gamma-secretase, that releases the HER4 intracellular domain from the membrane and facilitates its translocation to the nucleus. The kinase activity of HER4 is both necessary and sufficient to trigger an antiproliferative response in human breast cancer cells. Increased expression of HER4 has been detected in various cancers, which usually correlates to better survival. System contains: Kinase: HER4, 10ug (Human, recombinant; amino acids 682-993). MW: ~57kDa. Substrate: Poly (4:1 Glu, Tyr) Peptide. Other: Reaction Buffer, DTT, MnCl2. HER4 NCBI Database Entry: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/2066/.
