The platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide in various samples. platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide is another term for the PDGFRA gene, which encodes the protein, platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha in humans. It has been reported that platelet-derived growth factor receptor, alpha polypeptide plays a role in extracellular matrix organization, among other functions. Structurally, the PDGFRA protein is 1089 amino acid residues in length and 122.7 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 3 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the golgi and cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is notably expressed in platelets. This protein is known to be N-glycosylated, ubiquitinated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include CD140A, CD140A, and PDGFR-2.
