Anti-EGFR antibodies are essential reagents in flow cytometry for detecting the target protein, epidermal growth factor receptor. EGFR is a receptor tyrosine kinase that binds ligands of the epidermal growth factor family, including EGF, TGFA, AREG, EPGN, BTC, EREG and HBEG. It initiates several signal transduction cascades, mainly the MAPK, Akt and JNK pathways, leading to DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. Mainly a cell membrane protein, it can be translocated to the nucleus via the Golgi and ER. Examine the supplier's provided validation data when comparing EGFR antibodies for flow cytometry. Also look for application-specific recommendations, such as dilutions, protocols, sample types, and other helpful usage notes.
