Caenorhabditis elegans Enables epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; male genitalia development; and regulation of vulval development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of COP9 signalosome. Expressed in several structures, including P3.p hermaphrodite; P4.p hermaphrodite; P5.p hermaphrodite; P7.p hermaphrodite; and P8.p hermaphrodite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 114; breast cancer; and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human GRB2 (growth factor receptor bound protein 2).
