Related Product Information for anti-PDGF antibody

PDGF is synthesized mainly by megakaryocytes. It is stored in the alpha granules of platelets from which it is released after cell activation of platelets. Platelets synthesize a mixture of the three possible isoforms (BB,AB,AA) while fibroblasts stimulated with EGF synthesize AA homodimers. PDGF receptors are expressed in fibroblasts, osteoblasts, chondroblasts, smooth muscle cells, glial cells, and endothelial cells.Two related receptors, are PDGFRalpha (CD140a) or PDGFRbeta (CD140b).In contrast to many other cytokines PDGF is not released into the circulation. PDGF binds to several plasma proteins and also to proteins of the extracellular matrix which facilitates local concentration of the factor. The factor functions as a local autocrine and paracrine growth factor. In the adult organism PDGF is involved in wound healing processes. The aberrant expression of PDGF is observed with vascular proliferative diseases such as atherosclerosis. PDGF regulates the synthesis of its own receptor and also influences the expression of membrane receptors for IL1, EGF, 5-Hydroxytryptamine, LDL, transferrin, and muscarinergic receptor.

NCBI Description

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a motif of eight cysteines. This gene product can exist either as a homodimer or as a heterodimer with the platelet-derived growth factor beta polypeptide, where the dimers are connected by disulfide bonds. Studies using knockout mice have shown cellular defects in oligodendrocytes, alveolar smooth muscle cells, and Leydig cells in the testis; knockout mice die either as embryos or shortly after birth. Two splice variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

PDGFA: Growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. Potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin. Required for normal lung alveolar septum formation during embryogenesis, normal development of the gastrointestinal tract, normal development of Leydig cells and spermatogenesis. Required for normal oligodendrocyte development and normal myelination in the spinal cord and cerebellum. Plays an important role in wound healing. Signaling is modulated by the formation of heterodimers with PDGFB. Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
