title: Epidermal growth factor receptor: elements of intracellular communication.
abstract: While EGF has an important function in cell growth regulation, the molecular mechanisms by which intracellular signal connect the EGF: receptor complex on the plasma membrane with the initiation of DNA synthesis and mitogenesis is not well understood. The discovery that rasGAP, PI-3 kinase and PLC-gamma 1 are substrates for the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase has provided a beginning in understanding the biochemistry underlying growth factor receptor transduction.
