Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.1.0)
Enables epidermal growth factor binding activity and epidermal growth factor receptor activity. Involved in ERBB2-EGFR signaling pathway; cellular response to amino acid stimulus; and positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including eyelid development in camera-type eye; protein modification process; and regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; endocytic vesicle; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; integumental system; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study Coronavirus infectious disease and aortic valve disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including colorectal cancer; lung cancer (multiple); pancreatic cancer; prostate cancer; and pulmonary tuberculosis. Orthologous to human EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor).
