Summary: Enables neuregulin receptor activity. Involved in ERBB2-ERBB3 signaling pathway; Schwann cell development; and myelination. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of motor neuron apoptotic process; nervous system development; and positive regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade. Located in apical plasma membrane and lateral plasma membrane. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome 2; lung adenocarcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and neuronal intestinal dysplasia type A. Orthologous to human ERBB3 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Our results support a role for the hepatocellular ERBB tyrosine kinases in fibrogenesis. Maximal impact to fibrogenesis occurred in the ERBB3 and EGFR-ERBB3 DKO models, suggesting that EGFR-ERBB3 heterodimeric signaling in damaged hepatocytes may play a more important role in liver fibrosis than EGFR-EGFR homodimeric signaling.
Title: Hepatocyte ERBB3 and EGFR are required for maximal CCl4-induced liver fibrosis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
