ErbB3/Her3 Antibody [Unconjugated]

C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line was stained with Sheep Anti-Mouse ErbB3/Her3 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4518, filled histogram) or control antibody (Catalog # 5-001-A, open histogram), followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0127).

ErbB3/Her3 was detected in immersion fixed MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line (left panel) and MDA-MD-231 human breast cancer cell line (right panel) using Sheep Anti-Mouse ErbB3/Her3 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF4518) at 5 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL010) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Background

ErbB3, also called Her3 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 3) in humans, is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the ErbB family of tyrosine kinase receptors named for a viral oncogene (1‑3). ErbB family members serve as receptors for the EGF family of growth factors (1‑3). Mouse ErbB3 contains a 19 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, a 622 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 24 aa transmembrane region, and a 677 aa cytoplasmic domain (4). Human ErbB3 has four isoforms created by intron read-through and truncation of the molecule (5). Three of these are secreted and at least one can inhibit ErbB3 activity (6). Little information is available concerning mouse ErbB3 isoforms. The mouse ErbB3 ECD shares 97%, 93%, 92%, 91%, 89% and 88% aa identity with rat, human, bovine, equine, canine and opossum ErbB3, respectively. ErbB3 is found in epithelial cell layers of gastrointestinal, reproductive, urinary, endocrine and nervous systems, skin and muscle (3). Among ErbB family members, only ErbB3 lacks a working kinase domain, requiring heterodimerization with another ErbB receptor for signaling (1‑3). The heterodimer of ErbB3 with ErbB2, which has no known ligands of its own, is expressed in the majority of breast, skin, ovary and gastrointestinal tumors and transduces a highly mitogenic signal in response to neuregulin 1 (NRG1; heuregulin 1) or NRG2 (3, 7‑9). These ligands also bind ErbB4 (1). Signaling is aided by the six consensus binding motifs for the SH2 domain and one for the SH3 domain of the regulatory p85 subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (10, 11). Deletion studies in mice demonstrate non-redundant roles for ErbB3 in development of Schwann cells, neural crest cells and heart valves (12, 13). ErbB3, ErbB2 and neuregulin are all required for formation of the sympathetic nervous system (14).
