Description

General description

Cluster of differentiation 140a (CD140a), also known as platelet-derived growth factor receptor α(PDGFRA), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 4q12. The encoded protein belongs to the receptor tyrosine kinase gene family.

The mouse monoclonal antibody 16A1 recognizes CD140a / PDGF-RA, the 170 kDa alpha chain of platelet-derived growth factor receptor, which is widely expressed on a variety of mesenchymal-derived cells and plays pro-proliferative or anti-proliferative roles in various tumours.

Immunogen

CD140a-transfected NIH 3T3 cells

Application

The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis of human blood cells using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 1e6 cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (0.25 mL) is sufficient for 25 tests.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor plays a vital role in the development and maturation of platelets. Cluster of differentiation 140a (CD140a)/ PDGFRA acts as a potential target of for imatinib, a revolutionary drug for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia. PDGFRA pathway might be involved in developmental process of thrombocytes. The encoded protein facilitates hepatic stellate cell (HSCs) proliferation and migration. Mutation in the gene has been observed in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
