The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an integral regulator of many cellular
functions. EGFR also acts as a central conduit for extracellular signals involving direct
activation of the receptor by EGFR ligands or indirect activation by G protein-coupled
receptor (GPCR)-stimulated transactivation of the EGFR. We have previously shown that
EGFR negatively regulates epithelial chloride secretion as a result of transforming growth
factor-α-mediated EGFR transactivation in response to muscarinic GPCR activation. Here …
