Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB

Preferred Label : Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-BB;

NCIt synonyms : PDGF-BB;

NCIt definition : A disulfide-linked homodimeric protein complex comprised of 2 platelet-derived growth factor subunit B proteins. This dimeric growth factor binds to a homodimeric receptor comprised of two platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta proteins. Ligand binding activates the intrinsic tyrosine-protein kinase activity of the receptor complex and initiates signal transduction pathways.;
