EGFR belongs to the family of structurally and functionally similar ErbB or HER receptors on cell surfaces, which have intracellular tyrosine kinase activity. What all of these receptors have in common is that they consist of extracellular and membrane components to which ligand and intracellular components are bound via the tyrosine kinase activity . Under normal conditions the activity of ErbB receptors is controled by ligands which belong to the group of EGF related growth factors .
