Question
Chapter 14, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Effect of overexpression of mutated EGFR on EGF signaling should be determined.
Concept introduction:
EGF (epidermal growth factor) is a peptide hormone, which is submaxillary glands of the humans. It is also found in the parotid gland and submandibular gland of the humans. EGF binds to the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor). The main functions of EGF are cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival.

- Receptor, especially growth factor receptor signaling is deregulated in cancer cells, which results in uncontrolled growth.

This part was already posted on chegg, but I didn't understand the answer. I need a thorough explanation, so I can fully understand.
