Gene ID: 5154 | Gene type: protein coding

About PDGFA

Cytogenetic location: 7p22.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 7:497,258-520,700 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 263 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in lung (RPKM 8.8), placenta (RPKM 8.7) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the protein family comprised of both platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF). The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate platelet-derived growth factor subunit A, which can homodimerize, or alternatively, heterodimerize with the related platelet-derived growth factor subunit B. These proteins bind and activate PDGF Receptor Tyrosine Kinases, which play a role in a wide range of developmental processes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
