Disease relevance of LOC396494

  • We previously reported that structural rearrangements in the cellular oncogene c-erbB correlate with the development of erythroblastosis induced by avian leukosis virus (ALV). c-erbB recently has been shown to be related to the gene encoding epidermal growth factor receptor [1].
  • Moreover, the proteins expressed in the leukemias are similar to the avian EGF receptor with respect to their phosphopeptide maps, suggesting that they do not carry the C-terminal deletion characteristic of v-erbB [2].
  • Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor have been identified in several human tumor types, including gliomas [3].
  • Further, the human c-erb B-1/EGF-r gene in adenocarcinoma of uterine endometrium may be activated by a similar mechanism as that in the chicken v-erb B oncogene [4].
  • A biochemical and morphological investigation of the mechanism of entry of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) into host cells of mammalian (HeLa), avian (CER), piscine (EPC) and arthropod (Aedes albopictus) origin, is described [5].
