PDGFRa is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for PDGF family members. PDGFRa binds to both A and B subunits of PDGF. It is known that PDGFRa is vital for kidney development since mice heterozygous for the receptor display defective kidney phenotypes.
PDGFRA Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 522 amino acids (24-524) and having a molecular mass of 58.4 kDa.
The PDGFRA is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
