Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Related Product Information for CD140a active protein
The PDGFR/PDGF system includes two receptors (PDGFRA and PDGFRB) and four ligands (PDGFA, PDGFB, PDGFC, and PDGFD. Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization, enabling autophosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues and subsequent recruitment of a variety of signal transduction molecules. PDGFR regulates normal cellular growth and differentiation, and expression of activated PDGFR promotes oncogenic transformation, suggesting that activating mutations or gene rearrangements could play a role in human tumorigenesis. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies showed that inhibition of PDGFRA signaling disrupts cancer cell survival in the subset of GISTs with activating PDGFRA mutations.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. These growth factors are mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin. The identity of the growth factor bound to a receptor monomer determines whether the functional receptor is a homodimer or a heterodimer, composed of both platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha and beta polypeptides. Studies suggest that this gene plays a role in organ development, wound healing, and tumor progression. Mutations in this gene have been associated with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, somatic and familial gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and a variety of other cancers.

Uniprot Description

PDGFRA: a receptor tyrosine kinase of the PDGFR family that binds members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The identity of the growth factor bound determines whether the functional receptor is a homodimer or a heterodimer, composed of both PDGFR-alpha and -beta. Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation. Particularly important for kidney development since mice heterozygous for the receptor exhibit defective kidney phenotypes. Chromosomal rearrangments activate PDGFRalpha by fusion to BCR, causing atypical chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and to FIP1L1, causing idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. Activating point mutations cause a minority of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Promoter polymorphisms linked to neural tube defects including spina bifida, verified by mouse mutant model. Inhibitors: Gleevec, Sutent. OMIM: Two alternatively-spliced isoforms have been described.

Product Notes

The CD140a pdgfra (Catalog #AAA553024) is an Active Protein produced from HEk293 Cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PDGFR alpha, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
