PDGF R alpha Products

PDGF R alpha (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor alpha) is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that can form homodimers or heterodimers with PDGF R beta when engaged by dimers of the PDGF ligands. PDGF R alpha binds to PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB, and PDGF-CC. It is strongly expressed in oligodendrocyte, lung, skin, and intestinal progenitor cells, at low levels in most mesenchymal cells, and can be induced by inflammation. PDGF R alpha function is important during formation of the cranial and ...
