EGFR

Description

epidermal growth factor receptor

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is a member of the protein kinase superfamily. This protein is a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. EGFR is a cell surface protein that binds to epidermal growth factor. Binding of the protein to a ligand induces receptor dimerization and tyrosine autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene are associated with lung cancer.

Executive summary

  • EGFR was screened in 216 cell lines with 5 shRNAs, and 285 cell lines with 20 shRNAs.
  • EGFR was a six-sigma dependency in 4 cell lines.
  • The search for "Related features" MDPs resulted in the most predictive model for EGFR which had an out-of-bag R^2 of 0.27 (FDR 1.94e-02). In addition, this gene had a significant model when searching for the following MDPs: "Unbiased", "Related features", "Expression driven".
  • EGFR was annotated as potentially druggable (either in DGIDB or IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY).
