Abstract excerpt
The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family of genes and their receptors are involved in angiogenesis and steroid hormone production. A putative member of the family, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-like (PDGFRL), has been implicated in steroid-based feedback mechanisms within the chicken reproductive system. Three potential variants of PDGFRL were identified in the chicken, supported by in silico...
