Signaling by EGFRvIII in Cancer

EGFRvIII (EGFR V30_R297delinsG) is the most prevalent EGFR variant in glioblastoma, but it is also found in other cancer types. In-frame deletion of the ligand binding domain in EGFRvIII is frequently accompanied with genomic amplification, resulting in over-expression of EGFRvIII. EGFRvIII dimerizes and autophosphorylates spontaneously and is therefore constitutively active (Fernandes et al. 2001)
