Target intelligence / Profile preview

Beta Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFRβ)

Target
PDGFRβ
Molecular classification
Receptor, Type III receptor tyrosine kinase, RTK
01

Overview

Beta platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFRβ) is a cell surface receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a critical role in cellular signaling, particularly in processes such as cell proliferation, migration, and survival. PDGFRβ is primarily expressed on pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, where it mediates recruitment of these cells to newly formed blood vessels. Mutations or abnormal activity of PDGFRβ are implicated in several diseases, including myeloproliferative neoplasms and leukemia.
