The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the protein kinase superfamily. This protein is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. EGFR is a cell surface protein that binds to epidermal growth factor. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript var

L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) is a multipass-membrane protein responsible for sodium-independent, high-affinity transport of large neutral amino acids. LAT1 functions as a disulfide-linked heterodimer with the amino acid transport protein CD98. LAT1 is expressed predominantly in adult lung and liver but is also expressed in brain, thymus, retina, testis, placenta, bone marrow and fetal liver. In the retina, LAT1 localizes to the blood-retinal-barrier (BRB) and mediates L-leucine tra

Angiotensin II (Ang II) is an important physiological effector of blood pressure and volume regulation through vasoconstriction, aldosterone release, sodium uptake and thirst stimulation. Although Ang II interacts with two types of cell surface receptors, AT1 and AT2, most of the major cardiovascular effects seem to be mediated through AT1. Molecular cloning of the AT1 protein has shown it to be a member of the G protein-associated seven transmembrane protein receptor family. Ang II treatmen

This receptor binds insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) with a high affinity and IGF2 with a lower affinity. It has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity, which is necessary for the activation of the IGF1-stimulated downstream signaling cascade. When present in a hybrid receptor with INSR, binds IGF1. PubMed:12138094 shows that hybrid receptors composed of IGF1R and INSR isoform Long are activated with a high affinity by IGF1, with low affinity by IGF2 and not significantly activated by insulin

E Tag is a commonly used epitope tag engineered onto the N- or C- terminus of a protein of interest so that the tagged protein can be analyzed and visualized.$nBecause of the small size of the epitope, it is unlikely to alter the activity of the cloned sequence.
