Examine the following diagram.What will most likely happen if an antibody blocks the EGF receptor such that EGF can no longer bind to it?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EGF receptor plays a regulatory role in cell proliferation, and it triggers the cell division process. If an antibody blocks the EGF receptor and EGF molecules cannot bind to it, then the signal for cell division will not be transmitted, leading to a cessation of the cell cycle. This may ultimately cause the cell to stop dividing or possibly undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis).
