GENES, ERBB-2

Domain	Definition
Health	The erbB-2 gene is a proto-oncogene that codes for the erbB-2 receptor, a protein with structural features simular to the epidermal growth factor receptor. Its name originates from the viral oncogene homolog (v-erbB) which is a truncated form of the chicken erbB gene found in the avian erythoblastosis virus. Overexpression and amplification of the gene is associated with a significant number of adenocarcinomas. The human c-erbB-2 gene is located at 17q21.2. (references)
