GRB7 is an adaptor protein gene that sits next to HER2 on chromosome 17 and is copied along with it in HER2-positive cancers.
17q12 HER2 amplicon neighbour: co-amplified and co-expressed with ERBB2 in HER2-positive breast and gastric cancer, so it appears in HER2-enriched expression signatures as a passenger of the amplification rather than a driver of its own. UniProt describes GRB7 as an adapter that interacts with numerous receptor kinases and promotes activation of STAT3, AKT and MAPK; it is one of the genes in the Oncotype DX HER2 group.
In plain words · GRB7 is an adaptor protein gene that sits next to HER2 on chromosome 17 and is copied along with it in HER2-positive cancers.
GRB7 is an adaptor protein gene that sits next to HER2 on chromosome 17 and is copied along with it in HER2-positive cancers.
Adapter protein that binds the cytoplasmic domain of receptor kinases and modulates downstream signalling, promoting activation of STAT3, AKT1 and MAPK1/3 and of HRAS (UniProt Q14451).
