The HER2 Phospho-Tyr1221/Tyr1222 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a cutting-edge tool for studying phosphorylation events of HER2 in cell-based systems. This kit allows for the accurate detection and quantification of phosphorylated HER2 at specific tyrosine residues in cell lysates, providing researchers with valuable insights into the activation status of this critical receptor tyrosine kinase.HER2, also known as ErbB2, is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family and plays a key role in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Phosphorylation of HER2 at tyrosine residues 1221 and 1222 is a crucial event that regulates its signaling activity and downstream pathways.
Dysregulation of HER2 phosphorylation has been implicated in various cancers, including breast cancer, making it a potential therapeutic target.By using the HER2 Phospho-Tyr1221/Tyr1222 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit, researchers can monitor the phosphorylation status of HER2 in response to different stimuli, drug treatments, or genetic manipulations. This kit offers high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, allowing for reliable and robust results in a wide range of experimental settings.Overall, the HER2 Phospho-Tyr1221/Tyr1222 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a valuable tool for studying HER2 signaling dynamics and understanding its role in cancer and

The HER2 (Phospho-Tyr1221/Tyr1222) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect HER2 protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated HER2 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on HER2 phosphorylation.
Qualitative determination of HER2 (Phospho-Tyr1221/Tyr1222) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, HER2 (Phospho-Tyr1221/Tyr1222) is captured by HER2 (Phospho-Tyr1221/Tyr1222)-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
| 2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

| UniProt Protein Function: | HER2: a proto-oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase of the EGFR family. Essential component of a neuregulin-receptor complex, although neuregulins do not interact with it alone. Not activated by EGF, TGF- alpha and amphiregulin. Amplified in breast cancer. Overexpression induces constitutive activity, and the gene is amplified or overexpressed in up to 30% of breast cancers, correlating with poor survival. The antibody Herceptin is approved for treatment of metastatic breast cancer with HER2 amplification/overexpression. Somatic mutations seen in 4% of lung cancers and also in breast, gastric, ovarian cancer and glioblastoma. One SNP shows predisposition to breast and gastric cancer. Inhibitors: Herceptin, lapatinib, PKI-166, EKB-569, CI-1033. |

| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases. This protein 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. Allelic variations at amino acid positions 654 and 655 of isoform a (positions 624 and 625 of isoform b) have been reported, with the most common allele, Ile654/Ile655, shown here. Amplification and/or overexpression of this gene has been reported in numerous cancers, including breast and ovarian tumors. Alternative splicing results in several additional transcript variants, some encoding different isoforms and others that have not been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
