Description
Reacts with platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) receptorβ, a 170-190 kDa single transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, glial cells and chondrocytes. PDGF receptors,αandβ, are single glycoproteins with intracellular tyrosine kinase domains. They are structurally similar to M-CSF receptor and CD117 (c-kit). Their ligand, PDGF, is a mitogen for connective tissue cells and glial cells. PDGF plays a role in wound healing and acts as a chemoattractant for fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, glial cells, monocytes and neutrophils. Functional PDGF is secreted as a disulfide-linked dimer of A and B chains (PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB or PDGF-AB). Binding of divalent PDGF induces receptor dimerization with three possible forms:αα,αβ,ββ. The PDGF receptorα-subunit binds both PDGF A and B chains, whereas the receptorβ-subunit binds only PDGF B chain. Both receptor subunits can stimulate mitogenic responses, only theβsubunit can induce chemotaxis. 28D4 is specific for PDGFRβand does not cross-react with PDGFRα.
