EGFR stands for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor.
EGFR is a trans-membrane glyco-protein. The intracellular domain of EGFR protein is tyrosine kinase domain that regulates signaling pathways for cell growth, cell survival, cell division, and cell death.
Mutations in EGFR gene result in uncontrolled cell growth due to excessive or sustained growth signals.
Mutations in EGFR are associated with types of lung cancer such as Lung Adenocarcinoma, which is the most common type of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
