Platelet-derived growth factor receptor A, also termed CD140a, is a receptor located on the surface of a wide range of cell types. The protein is encoded in the human by the PDGFRA gene.

Dec 25, 2024 · PDGFRA (Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with PDGFRA include Gist-Plus Syndrome and Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor. Among its related pathways are Apoptotic Pathways in Synovial Fibroblasts and GPCR Pathway.

The PDGFRA gene provides instructions for making a protein called platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA), which is part of a family of proteins called receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). Learn about this gene and related health conditions.

PDGFRA/Pdgfra gene is regulated by at least seven first exons in human and mouse. our findings support a pathogenetic relationship between telocyte hyperplasia and both inflammatory fibroid polyp and PDGFRA-mutant gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST).

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA) mutations occur in approximately 10–15% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). These tumors with PDGFRA mutations have a different pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, and treatment response ...

Dec 2, 2023 · Our high-resolution imaging, transcriptional profiling, and organoid assays identify regional subpopulations and supportive capacities of purified mouse corpus and antral PDGFRA + cells.

Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) bind to two closely related receptor tyrosine kinases, PDGF receptor α and β, which are encoded by the PDGFRA and PDGFRB genes.

Dec 7, 2015 · Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) plays a pivotal role in the remodeling of connective tissues. Emerging data indicate the distinctive role of PDGF receptor-α (PDGFRα) in this process.

PDGFRA and PDGFRB are classical proto-oncogenes that encode receptor tyrosine kinases responding to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). PDGFRA mutations are found in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), inflammatory fibroid polyps and gliomas, and PDGFRB mutations drive myofibroma development. In addition, chromosomal rearrangement of ...
