Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5156
Gene name Platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha
Gene symbol PDGFRA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CD140APDGFR-2PDGFR2
Chromosome 4
Chromosome location 4q12
Summary This gene encodes a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. These growth factors are mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin. The identity of the growth factor bound to a receptor monomer determines
