Background
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA, also known as CD140a) is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. PDGFRA is implicated in the regulation of embryonic development, tumorigenesis, cell proliferation, survival, and chemotaxis. Mutations in the PDGFRA gene have been associated with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, somatic and familial gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and a variety of other cancers. PDGFRA and PDGFRB belong to receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family and function as receptors for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). PDGFRA is the only identified receptor to mediate PDGFA function in GBM.
