Structure of ErbB family members
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR/ErbB1)

The ~620 amino acid extracellular region is composed of four subdomains: L1 (blue), CS1 (green), L2 (yellow), and CS2 (red).Ferguson 2003 (1NQL)

A single transmembrane domain connects the receptor to the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. Barachov 2008 (2JWA)

Extracellular activation causes formation of homodimers or heterdimers. This brings cytosolic tyrosine kinase domains in close proximity and allows for autophosphorylation. Stamos 2002 (1M17)
