Platelet‐derived growth factor in human glioma
1 Nov 1995
Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a 30 kDa protein consisting of disulfide-bonded dimers of A- and B-chains. PDGF receptors are of two types, alpha- and beta-receptors, which are members of the protein-tyrosine kinase family of receptors. The receptors are activated by ligand-induced dimerization, whereby the receptors become phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. These form attachment sites for signalling...
