Gene Information

human ... PDGFRA(5156)

General description

Platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGF Receptor) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of 170-185 kDa which undergoes homo or heterodimerization into complexes of alpha and beta subunits upon ligand binding, depending on the isoform of PDGF (PDGF AA, BB or AB) that binds. The phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the now activated receptor can control multiple signaling events such as actin reorganization, transcription, cell growth, migration and differentiation, and also lead to activation of the Ras, Raf and ERK 1 and 2 pathway.

Specificity

Recognizes PDGF Receptor alpha.

Immunogen

peptide corresponding to amino acids 1035-1053 (C-GKRNRHSSQTSEESAIETG) of human PDGF Receptor α

Application

Detect PDGFRα using this Anti-PDGFRα Antibody validated for use in IP & WB.
