PDGFRa, also known as platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha, is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. This protein can bind to both A and B subunits of PDGF. It is particularly important for kidney development since mice heterozygous for the receptor exhibit defective kidney phenotypes. Purifed by conventional chromatography, after refolding of the isolated inclusion bodies in a renaturation buffer. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa24-524 of human PDGFRa, fused to His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
