Background

Human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor, is a receptor tyrosine kinase whose activity induces various signalling cascades leading to cell growth and proliferation. Two major isoforms exist, PDGF receptor-alpha and PDGF receptor-beta. PDGF receptor-beta can only bind two specific PDGF isoforms, PDGF-beta and PDGF-delta (1,2). Upon ligand binding, the receptor undergoes autophosphorylation, allowing binding and activation of cytoplasmic SH2 domain-containing signal transduction molecules such as PI kinase (3), Grb2, and Src, among others.
