NCIt definition : Human EGFR wild-type allele is located within 7p12 and is approximately 188 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes epidermal growth factor receptor protein, is involved
in several different processes such as receptor signaling, differentiation, proliferation
responses and signal transduction.;
NCIt note : EGFR is not expressed in mitotically quiescent cells, except in the stomach where
it controls the synthesis and release of digestive enzymes and gastric acid.;
