PDGFRA; also known as CD140a; together with the structurally homolog protein PDGFRB (CD140b); are cell surface receptors for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. They are members of the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTKs) with the similar structure characteristics of five immunoglobulin-like domains in their extracellular region and a split kinase domain in their intracellular region. PDGFRA is expressed in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and mesothelial cell; and binds all three ligand isoforms PDGF-AA; PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB with high affinity; whereas PDGFRB dose not bind PDGF-AA. PDGFRA plays an essential role in regulating proliferation; chemotaxis and migration of mesangial cells. PDGFRA has been shown to play a role in testis organ development and Leydig cell differentiation, as well as being important for kidney formation. Furthermore, PDGFRA is required for tumor angiogenesis and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment, as well as HCC development and metastasis. PDGFRA may represent a potential therapeutic target in thymic tumours. PDGFRA amplification rather than gene mutation could be the underlying genetic mechanism driving PDGFRA overexpression in a subset of gliomas. Human PDGFRa/CD140a Recombinant Protein is a highly pure recombinant protein developed by Assay Genie for use in a range of applications.
