Scope note

  • Specific receptors on cell membranes that react with PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR, its analogs, or antagonists. The alpha PDGF receptor (RECEPTOR, PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR ALPHA) and the beta PDGF receptor (RECEPTOR, PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR BETA) are the two principle types of PDGF receptors. Activation of the protein-tyrosine kinase activity of the receptors occurs by ligand-induced dimerization or heterodimerization of PDGF receptor types.

History note

  • 93; was PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR (NM) 1982-92; PLATELET DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR-KINASE was NM 1989-92
