MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family of receptor tyrosine kinases. This membrane-bound protein has a neuregulin binding domain but not an active kinase domain. It therefore can bind this ligand but not convey the signal into the cell through protein phosphorylation. However, it does form heterodimers with other EGF receptor family members which do have kinase activity. Heterodimerization leads to the activation of pathways which lead to cell proliferation or differentiation. Amplification of this gene and/or overexpression of its protein have been reported in numerous cancers, including prostate, bladder, and breast tumors. Alternate transcriptional splice variants encoding different isoforms have been characterized. One isoform lacks the intermembrane region and is secreted outside the cell. This form acts to modulate the activity of the membrane-bound form. Additional splice variants have also been reported, but they have not been thoroughly characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit a lack of Schwann-cell precursors leading to loss of sensory and motor neurons, hypoplasia of the primary sympathetic ganglion chain, cardiac defects, impaired brain development, and embryonic lethality. [provided by MGI curators]

Protein Function and Prediction

ERBB3 is a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family and an activator of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt pathway [reviewed in (1)].  It regulates cell survival and vesicle trafficking and is essential for the generation of precursors of Schwann cells that normally accompany peripheral axons of motor neurons (OMIM: *190151).  ERBB3 expression has been linked to many cancers including breast, ovary, prostate, certain brain cells, retina, melanocytes, colon, pancreas, stomach, oral cavity and lung [(2); reviewed in (1)]. Neuregulins are among the ligands for ERBB3 and the ligand-receptors are involved in maintenance of cell division, proliferation, differentiation, and migration [reviewed in (1)].

Expression/Localization

ERBB3 mRNA is present from the earliest stages of development and ERBB3 is widely expressed in human adult tissues, consistently detected in brain, spinal cord, liver, prostate, kidney and lung [reviewed in (1)].

Background

Mutations in ERBB3 are linked to Lethal congenital contractural syndrome 2 [LCCS2; OMIM: #607598; (3)], a condition marked by specific neuropathology with degeneration of anterior horn neurons, and extreme skeletal muscle atrophy (4). Most of the infants with LCCS2 died shortly after birth (4). As early as 15 weeks gestation researchers noted fetal akinesia, limb contractures, hydramnios, and distended urinary bladder (4).

either: 129S6/SvEvTac-Erbb3tm1.1Dwt or B6.129S6-Erbb3tm1.1Dwt

Homozygous animals die by 3 weeks of age and exhibit partial lethality throughout fetal growth and development (5).

either: 129P2/OlaHsd or (involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6)

Homozygous animals exhibit complete perinatal lethality, with most animals dying around E11.5 and E13.5.  Pups do not respond to tactile stimuli, have increased neuron apoptosis, neuron degeneration, and respiratory failure (6).

Erbb3tm1Gne/tm1Gne; MGI: 1928828

involves: 129S2/SvPas * C57BL/6

Homozygous mice die by E10.5 and exhibit abnormal pancreas morphology, abnormal heart development and morphology, poor circulation, and abnormal brain development (7).

either: 129P2/OlaHsd or (involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * C57BL/6)

Homozygous animals exhibit complete perinatal lethality, with most animals dying around E11.5 and E13.5.  Pups do not respond to tactile stimuli, have increased neuron apoptosis, neuron degeneration, and respiratory failure (6).

Erbb3tm2Cbm/tm2Cbm; MGI:1929598

involves: 129P2/OlaHsd

Adrenergic chromaffin cells are absent in the medulla of homozygous animals.  Furthermore, homozygous animals have abnormal sympathetic system morphology, small superior cervical ganglion, abnormal adrenal gland morphology, abnormal neural crest migration, and a reduction in noradrenaline levels  (8).
