1 Formazione interna Cos è EGFR? Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Valutazione di EGFR con FISH in varie malattie neoplastiche V. Martin Recettore transmembrana di tipo TK. Codificato dal gene EGFR, che mappa in 7p1. Attivato attraverso il binding con lo specifico ligando (EGF). Innesca pathway downstreams con numerosi effetti tra cui: - la proliferazione cellulare - la capacità del tumore di invadere - l angiogenesi - la capacità del tumore di dare metastasi. nucleo membrana citoplasmatica Nei tumori solidi EGFR è deregolato in diversi modi: - a livello del recettore - a livello del gene che lo codifica membrana citoplasmatica ) mutazione genica Cellula tumorale nucleo ) mutazione genica ) mutazione genica 1
