epitope corresponding to amino acids 126-250 mapping within an internal region of PDGF-C of human origin
Modification Notes
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) refers to a family of disulphide-bonded dimeric isoforms that are important for growth and survival, and which function in several types of connective tissue cells. PDGF, which is a major mitogen for vascular smooth muscle cells and is implicated in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis, is composed of dimers of PDGF-A and PDGF-B polypeptide chains encoded by different genes. PDGF-C (also designated spinal cord-derived growth factor, SCDGF or fallotein) is a functional analog of PDGF-A that requires proteolytic activation. PDGF-A and PDGF-C selectively activate PDGFR-a, whereas PDGF-B activates both PDGFR-a and PDGFR-b. PDGF-C expression in the arterial wall and cultured vascular cells suggests that it can transduce proliferation/migration signals to pericytes and smooth muscle cells. Additionally, PDGF-C is a target of EWS/ETS transcriptional deregulation and this transcriptional deregulation is specific to EWS/FLI.
