ERBB4 and cancer: Overexpression and mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR/ErbB1/HER1) and other tyrosine kinase receptors of the ErbB family (ErbB2/HER2, ErbB3/HER3 and ErbB4/HER4) play an essential role in enhancing the proliferation, the migratory capacity and invasiveness of many tumor cells, leading to cancer progression and increased malignancy.
