Description
Product Characteristics: This gene encodes a protein with significant sequence similarity to the ligand binding domain of platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta. Mutations in this gene, or deletion of a chromosomal segment containing this gene, are associated with sporadic hepatocellular carcinomas, colorectal cancers, and non-small cell lung cancers. This suggests this gene product may function as a tumor suppressor.,PDGFRL,PDGRL,PRLTS,Cancer,Tumor suppressors,Signal Transduction,G protein signaling,G-Protein-Coupled Receptors(GPCR),PDGFRL
