Description:
Previous studies involving platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) have been based on the premise that a single cell-surface receptor binds all three isoforms of PDGF (AA, BB, and AB). It is now shown that two populations of PDGF receptor exist and can be distinguished by their ligand binding specificity. The B receptor binds only the BB dimer, whereas the A/B receptor binds AA, BB, and AB dimers. Human dermal fibroblasts appear to express seven times as much B receptor as A/B receptor. The B receptor is responsible for most PDGF receptor phosphorylation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hart, C E -- Forstrom, J W -- Kelly, J D -- Seifert, R A -- Smith, R A -- Ross, R -- Murray, M J -- Bowen-Pope, D F -- DE07063-11/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- GM35501/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- HL18645/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Jun 10;240(4858):1529-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, University of Washington, Seattle 98195.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2836952" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
