Research and Markets: ErbB Signaling Pathway in Cancer Drug Pipeline Report 2015Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fkgwxm/erbb_signaling) has announced the addition of the "ErbB Signaling Pathway in Cancer Drug Pipeline Update 2015" report to their offering. The ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) couples binding of extracellular growth factor ligands to intracellular signaling pathways regulating diverse biologic responses, including proliferation, differentiation, cell motility, and survival. Ligand binding to the four closely related members of this RTK family -epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, also known as ErbB-1 or HER1), ErbB-2 (HER2), ErbB-3 (HER3), and ErbB-4 (HER4)-induces the formation of receptor homo- and heterodimers and the activation of the intinsic kinase domain, resulting in phosphorylation on specific tyrosine residues (pY) within the cytoplasmic tail. There are today 249 companies plus partners developing 342 ErbB signaling pathway targeting drugs in 1469 developmental projects in cancer. In addition, there are 2 suspended drugs and the accumulated number of ceased drugs over the last years amount to another 186 drugs. Erbb Signaling Pathway In Cancer Drug Pipeline Update lists all drugs and gives you a progress analysis on each one of them. Identified drugs are linked to 169 different targets. All included targets have been cross-referenced for the presence of mutations associated with human cancer. To date 165 out of the 167 studied drug targets so far have been recorded with somatic mutations. The software application lets you narrow in on these mutations and links out to the mutational analysis for each of the drug targets for detailed information. All drugs targets are further categorized on in the software application by 40 classifications of molecular function and with pathway referrals to BioCarta, KEGG, NCI-Nature and NetPath.
