Figure 1 Epidermal growth factor receptor and its downstream signaling pathway. Binding of ligands such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) to Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activates downstream Ras/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways and regulates various physiological processes. The anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) cetuximab and panitumumab block the activation of these pathways.
