Type the word that best describes the
image you want – e.g. capsule
Double click the image
If the word is non-specific the search will
not be focused – e.g. clipart

How EGFR variant differs from the wild type
EGFR - Variant III
EGFR – Wild Type
No extracellular domain
Present
Ligand cannot bind
Can bind
TK constitutively active
TK activated by ligand binding
Cannot dimerise
Can dimerise
Not found in normal cells
Found normally
More propensity for cancer
Up regulation leads to cancer
