    Summary
    Enables epidermal growth factor receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including compound eye morphogenesis; open tracheal system development; and regionalization. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in apical plasma membrane. Colocalizes with cytoneme. Is expressed in several structures, including anlage in statu nascendi; anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; epithelium; gut section; and imaginal disc. Used to study alcohol use disorder; carcinoma; cardiomyopathy; and intestinal cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including ERBB4 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
