CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN PDGF-BB IN COMPLEX WITH A Modified nucleotide aptamer (SOMAmer SL4)

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23139410

Disease

[PDGFB_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving PDGFB is found in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Translocation t(17;22)(q22;q13) with PDGFB.[1]

Function

[PDGFB_HUMAN] Growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. Potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin. Required for normal proliferation and recruitment of pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells in the central nervous system, skin, lung, heart and placenta. Required for normal blood vessel development, and for normal development of kidney glomeruli. Plays an important role in wound healing. Signaling is modulated by the formation of heterodimers with PDGFA (By similarity).
