What is Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha (PDGFRα)?
Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha, abbreviated as PDGFRα, is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family. These growth factors play crucial roles in cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and development. PDGFRα is encoded by the PDGFRA gene and is essential for various physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
