Characterization of Effects of Muc1 Expression on Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling in Breast Cancer

EGF receptors are key regulators of cell survival and growth in normal and transformed tissues. Ligand binding results in formation of homo/hetero dimers of these receptors, followed by activation of the kinase activity and subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation of many downstream molecules. The activa...
