Catalog #SIM0002
Clone:
Cetuximab
Reactivities:
Human
Product Details
This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Cetuximab making it ideal for research use. This Cetuximab biosimilar reacts with human EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) also known as ErbB-1. EGFR is a 170 kDa cell-surface receptor and belongs to the ErbB family of receptors. EGFR signaling is activated upon binding one of its ligands including epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor α (TGF α), Amphiregulin, and heparin binding-EGF (HB-EGF). Upon activation, EGFR transitions from an inactive monomeric form to an active homodimer. This initiates several downstream signal transduction cascades including the MAPK, Akt and JNK pathways, leading to DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. EGFR overexpression or constitutive activation are associated with many cancers. For this reason, anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody mediated immunotherapies are currently being explored as cancer treatments. Cetuximab inhibits tumor cell proliferation by blocking the interaction of EGF with EGFR.Specifications
