PDGFR-alpha(Phospho Tyr849) Polyclonal Antibody

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.
