HER2 is so named because it has a similar structure to human epidermal growth factor receptor, or HER1. Neu is so named because it was derived from a rodent glioblastoma cell line, a type of neural tumor.
HER2 is a membrane tyrosine kinase and oncogene that is overexpressed and gene amplified in about 20% of breast cancers. When activated it provides the cell with potent proliferative and anti-apoptosis signals and it is the major driver of tumor development and progression for this subset of breast cancer.

Summary. Human epidermal growth factor receptors (HER/ erb B) constitute a family of four cell surface receptors involved in transmission of signals controlling normal cell growth and differentiation. A range of growth factors serve as ligands, but none is specific for the HER2 receptor.
Structure of the HER2 protein and its transmembrane topology. and Drosophila melanogaster. These organisms only have one HER receptor. Although the receptor in C. elegans has one ligand, the receptor in fruit flies {Drosophila melanogaster) has four ligands.
