Evidence Type(s): Functional
Summary: Mutation: E401G | Summary: The ERBB2 E401G variant alters molecular function by enhancing C-terminal phosphorylation, stabilizing the dimer interface of the HER2-EGFR complex, and activating the MAPK pathway, contributing to changes in proliferative and invasive capacities of cancer cells. It is associated with increased phosphorylation of HER2 and ERK, and does not contribute to the formation of disulfide-linked dimers.
Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: S310F | Summary: The ERBB2 S310F variant alters molecular function by enhancing C-terminal phosphorylation, stabilizing the dimer interface of the HER2-EGFR complex, and activating the MAPK pathway, leading to a significantly higher proliferation rate in cancer cells. It does not show increases in HER2 dimers.
Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: E321G | Summary: The ERBB2 E321G variant alters molecular function by forming disulfide-linked dimers and is involved in activation mechanisms related to dimer formation and C-terminal phosphorylation.
Evidence Type: Functional Mutation: D845A | Summary: The ERBB2 D845A variant is described as a kinase domain inactivating variant and is part of the evaluation of functional properties related to activation mechanisms.
