direct ELISA: 0.5-1.0 μg/mL immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections): 15 μg/mL using human tissue sections neutralization: suitable western blot: 0.1-0.2 μg/mL
Blocks cell surface human or mouse PDGF Receptor α mediated biological activity induced by PDGF-AA.
Immunogen
recombinant soluble human platelet-derived growth factor receptor α expressed in Sf 21 cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a serum growth factor purified from human platelets. The cellular effects of PDGF are mediated by binding to PDGF α- and PDGF β-receptors which leads to activation of downstream signaling via PI3K, STAT and Ras/MAPK. PDGFR stimulates the proliferation of cells of connective tissue and glial cells, survival, differentiation, chemotaxis and wound healing.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.

For the establishment of a fully functional septated heart, addition of myocardium from second heart field-derived structures is important. Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are known for their role in cardiovascular development. In this study, we aim to elucidate this role

Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are important in embryonic development. To elucidate their role in avian heart and coronary development, we investigated protein expression patterns of PDGF-A, PDGF-B, and the receptors PDGFR-alpha and PDGFR-beta using immunohistochemistry on sections of pro-epicardial quail-chicken

A growth-promoting activity released from activated platelets, the platelet-derived growth factor, was discovered and characterized while the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of the lesions of atherosclerosis were being investigated. This review provides a personal account of the
Upsala journal of medical sciences, 117(2), 83-91 (2012-04-20)
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) isoforms are important mitogens for different types of mesenchymal cells, which have important functions during the embryonal development and in the adult during wound healing and tissue homeostasis. In tumors, PDGF isoforms are often over-expressed and
Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors (PDGFRs) have served as prototypes for growth factor and receptor tyrosine kinase function for more than 25 years. Studies of PDGFs and PDGFRs in animal development have revealed roles for PDGFR-alpha signaling in
