Description (eCommerce)
Platelet derived growth factor receptor beta is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for homodimeric PDGFB and PDGFD and for heterodimers formed by PDGFA and PDGFB. These growth factors are members of the platelet-derived growth factor family and are mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin. PDGFR beta is essential for normal development of the cardiovascular system and aids in rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton. [taken from NCBI Entrez Gene (Gene ID: 5159)].
Description (Vector)
PDGFRB 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. PDGFRB is flanked on chromosome 5 by the genes for granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and macrophage-colony stimulating factor receptor; all three genes may be implicated in the 5-q syndrome. A translocation between chromosomes 5 and 12, that fuses this gene to that of the translocation, ETV6, leukemia gene, results in chronic myeloproliferative disorder with eosinophilia.
