The ERBB receptors are a group of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) involved in key cellular functions including cell growth and survival. What are the activation mechanisms particular to ERBBs?

Within cell membranes, ion channel receptors typically activate in response to electrical, chemical or other specific stimuli ...

"The challenge, however, is to limit their effects to astrocytes, because strong and prolonged activation of the same receptors in neurons can have side effects, notably on alertness, anxiety and ...

Research from Weill Cornell Medicine has identified a molecular pathway linking omega-6 linoleic acid—a common dietary fat in ...

In addition to regulation of subcellular location, ERBB receptors are also regulated in ways that affect their signaling activity. Ultimately, the maturation, dimerization, activation, time of ...

Past studies have shown that the human sweet taste receptor conveys sweet perception in the mouth and may help regulate glucose metabolism throughout the body.
