OnCo

The fourth member of the HER family, hit by the irreversible pan-HER inhibitors afatinib, dacomitinib and neratinib along with EGFR and HER2. It has no approved drug of its own, and its role in cancer is less clear than that of its siblings. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Neuregulin receptor of the HER family; inhibited by pan-HER covalent inhibitors rather than by a dedicated drug.

Where it is found
  • EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (as a pan-HER target)
  • HER2-positive breast cancer (as a pan-HER target)
