Background Information
HER2, also known as ErbB2 and Neu, is a 185-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases. It has no ligand-binding domain of its own and therefore cannot bind growth factors. However, it does bind tightly to other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members to form a heterodimer, stabilizing ligand binding and enhancing kinase-mediated activation of downstream signalling pathways, such as those involving mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Amplification and/or overexpression of HER2 have been reported in numerous cancers, including breast and ovarian tumors. HER2 is a therapeutic target for the treatment of breast cancer and other carcinomas. This antibody raised against a synthesized peptide corresponding to 1237-1255aa of human HER2 recognizes the 185-kDa full-length glycosylated form and other lower molecular-mass forms of HER2, including the truncated form.

Reviews
What customers say
The single review reports successful use of this HER2/Erbb2 antibody in Western blot. The user transfected MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells with HER2/Erbb2 siRNA at varying concentrations for 48 hours, then confirmed effective knockdown using the antibody at a 1:2,000 dilution. The reviewer rated the product 5 stars, indicating satisfaction with its performance in detecting the expected reduction in HER2/Erbb2 protein levels.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
Vanina (Verified Customer) (07-28-2021) | MDA-MB-453 cell line was transfected with different concentrations of HER2/Erbb2 siRNA for 48h. Western blot using HER2/Erbb2 rabbit Proteintech antibody (18299-1-AP) at 1:2,000 dillution confirms the HER2/Erbb2 knockdown.
