    protein on cell surfaces aiding growth and division

    The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is a protein found on the surface of cells that helps them grow and divide. It is crucial in regulating cell growth, survival, and differentiation. When EGFR is mutated or overexpressed, it can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation, which is a common feature in various cancers.
