Abstract excerpt
The B-chain homodimer isoform of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) binds with high affinity both to alpha- and to beta-receptors. In order to localize amino acid residues in PDGF-BB of differential importance for the binding to the two receptors, PDGF-BB mutants were analyzed in which single amino acid residues were changed to alanine residues. We found that Phe-118 in loop 1 of the PDGF B-chain is crucial...
