ZHER2 - affibody with affinity to cytoplasmic domain of HER2
ZHER2 was one of the first affibodies created and it binds to the Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 (HER2). They originate from mutations in the Immunoglobin G Binding Domain of Protein A from Staphylococcus aureus. Affibodies are engineered to bind to larger proteins or peptides where they imitate monoclonal antibodies. They are used in a multitude of therapies in biotechnology to bioimaging. ZHER2 can particular be used as a protein-protein interaction tool, as well as a way to verify antibody interactions as it binds to the cytoplasmic domain of HER2 at a different epitope than the antibodies.
