General description

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a serum growth factor purified from human platelets. The members of PDGF are homodimers of A-, B-, C- and –D polypeptide chains and an AB heterodimer. PDGF is a mitogen and stimulates the proliferation of cells of connective tissue and glial cells, survival, differentiation, chemotaxis and wound healing. The cellular effects of PDGF isoforms are mediated by binding to receptors PDGF Rα and PDGF Rβ. Phosphorylation of PDGF Rα at tyrosine residues leads to activation of downstream signaling via PI3K, STAT and Ras/MAPK. Overexpression of PDGF isoforms has been observed in various malignancies including gliomas, osetosarcoma, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and non-small-cell lung cancers
Auto-phosphorylation of PDGF Rα at Tyr762 aids in binding Crk proteins. The antibody detects mouse PDGF Rα. It may cross react with human, rat (100% homologous) and frog (83%) PDGF Rα. It does not react with PDGF Rβ (50%).

Immunogen

synthetic phosphopeptide derived from the region of human PDGF receptor α containing tyrosine 762.

Application

Anti-phospho PDGF Rα may be used for immunoblotting at a concentration of 0.35 to 1 μg/ml using NIH3Ts cells.

Physical form

Solution in Dulbecco′s phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.3, with 1.0 mg/mL BSA (IgG and protease free), and 0.05% sodium azide.

The family of platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) plays a number of critical roles in normal embryonic development, cellular differentiation, and response to tissue damage. Not surprisingly, as it is a multi-faceted regulatory system, numerous pathological conditions are associated with aberrant
