background

PDGF (Platelet-derived growth factor) is one among numerous growth factors that regulate cell growth and division. The PDGF family forms five dimeric ligands, PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, PDGF-CC, PDGF-DD, and PDGF-AB, which activate cognate receptor tyrosine kinases PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β. Upon binding to its tyrosine kinase receptor PDGF-αα, PDGF-AA stimulates the proliferation of osteoblastic cells and may exert autocrine and paracrine effects in regulating bone-forming processes. PDGF-AA is the most well characterized mitogen that is not restricted to any kind of tumor cell type but was seen in osteoblastic cells as well as in pleomorphic tumor elements.

molecular weight

The protein has a predicted MW of 14.75 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 17-22 kDa and 25-45 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Function
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 (By similarity).
Subellular location
Secreted. Note=Released by platelets upon wounding.
Structure
Homodimer; antiparallel disulfide-linked dimer. Heterodimer with PDGFB; antiparallel disulfide-linked dimer. The PDGFA homodimer interacts with PDGFRA homodimers, and with heterodimers formed by PDGFRA and PDGFRB. The heterodimer composed of PDGFA and PDGFB interacts with PDGFRA homodimers, and with heterodimers formed by PDGFRA and PDGFRB. Interacts with CSPG4 (By similarity).
