抄録

<jats:p> Antibodies were raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to 14 amino acid residues at the COOH-terminus of a protein deduced from the human c- <jats:italic>erb</jats:italic> B-2 nucleotide sequence. These antibodies immunoprecipitated a 185-kilodalton glycoprotein from MKN-7 adenocarcinoma cells. Incubation of the immunoprecipitates with (γ- <jats:sup>32</jats:sup> )ATP resulted in the phosphorylation of this protein on tyrosine residues. These results indicate that the human c- <jats:italic>erb</jats:italic> B-2 gene product is the 185-kilodalton glycoprotein that is associated with tyrosine kinase activity. Although the c- <jats:italic>erb</jats:italic> B-2 protein was predicted to encode a protein very similar to epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, EGF did not stimulate this kinase activity either in vivo or in vitro. </jats:p>
