Anti-PDGFR alpha [PDGFR-H7A]

Invented by Dr Jacqueline Cordell from University of Oxford
Invented at University of Oxford

Info

Catalogue Number 151787
Applications IP
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets PDGFR alpha, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide.
Reactivity Human
Relevance This gene encodes a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. These growth factors are mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin. The identity of the growth factor bound to a receptor monomer determines whether the functional receptor is a homodimer or a heterodimer, composed of both platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha and beta polypeptides. Studies suggest that this gene plays a role in organ development, wound healing, and tumor progression. Mutations in this gene have been associated with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, somatic and familial gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and a variety of other cancers.
Host Mouse
Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to amino acids 1 to 78 of human PDGFRA

Subclass IgG1 lambda
Myeloma Used NS0
