PDGFRb (pY1009) Antibody

Background

Platelet derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRB) similarly functions as a receptor for PDGFs and is crucial for vascular development and the regulation of blood vessel maturation and stability PDGFRB is expressed in pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells, where it modulates cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation its activation is pivotal in angiogenesis and vascular remodeling through downstream signaling pathways including STAT3 and Ras-MAPK aberrations in PDGFRB signaling are implicated in pathologies such as proliferative retinopathies, atherosclerosis, and certain myeloproliferative disorders including chronic eosinophilic leukemia targeted inhibitors have been developed to counteract PDGFRB-driven malignancies while new studies focus on its contribution to immune modulation and tissue regeneration.
