Function | Platelet-Derived Growth Factor AA (PDGF-AA) is a protein with roles in regulating of many processes including embryonic development, angiogenesis, cell proliferation and differentiation. PDGF-BB acts on mesenchymal cells as a mitogen for connective tissue formation, particularly fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells and glial cells. PDGF-AA is present in the alpha granules of platelets. As such, PDGF-AA promotes angiogenesis, chemotaxis of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis in tissue repair. Additionally, PDGF-AA supports development of kidney glomeruli, the differentiation of neural stem cells and has neuroprotective functions on mature neurons during injury. PDGF-AA binds to the PDGFR alpha (CD140a) homodimer only and activates the MAPK, PI3K, and STAT3 pathways. |
Tissue Specificity | PDGF-AA expression has been identified in epithelial tissue, endothelial tissue, smooth muscle tissue, colon, heart, lung, brain and neurons. |
Cellular Localization | Secreted protein |
Involvement in Disease | Dysregulation of PDGF-AA is associated with atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, glomerulonephritis, diabetic retinopathy, keloids, hypertrophic scars, cancer (glioma, sarcoma, and tumor angiogenesis). |
