ELISA. Western blot: 1 μg/mL for 2 hrs at RT. Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 5 μg/mL for 45 min at RT. Staining offormalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min. Positive Control: Ovarian carcinoma. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGF Receptor) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of 170-185 kDa which undergoes homo or heterodimerization into complexes of alpha and beta subunits upon ligand binding, depending on the isoform of PDGF (PDGF AA, BB or AB) that binds. The phosphorylation of tyrosine residues in the now activated receptor can control multiple signaling events such as actin reorganization, transcription, cell growth, migration and differentiation, and also lead to activation of the Ras, Raf and ERK 1 and 2 pathway.Synonyms: Alpha-type platelet-derived growth factor receptor, CD140 antigen-like family member A, PDGF Receptor alpha, PDGF-R-alpha
