Anti-PDGFR beta (phospho Y751) antibody [EPR21744],Abcam,AB218534

Target data The protein expressed by the PDGFRB gene is a tyrosine-protein kinase that functions as a cell-surface receptor for various PDGF homodimers and heterodimers, playing an essential role in embryonic development, cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, chemotaxis, and migration. It is crucial for blood vessel development by promoting the proliferation and migration of, as well as recruitment of, pericytes and smooth muscle cells to endothelial cells. It has a role in vascular smooth muscle cell migration and neointima formation at injury sites, and is necessary for normal cardiovascular development and pericyte recruitment in kidney glomeruli. The protein facilitates actin cytoskeleton rearrangement and membrane ruffle formation. Ligand binding activates signaling cascades depending on the ligand bound and interactions with PDGFRA, leading to phosphorylation of several substrates, activation of signaling pathways such as AKT1, MAPK, and SRC family kinases, and production of molecules like diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate. Receptor signaling is downregulated by protein phosphatases and receptor internalization. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
