General description

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

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
