definition

Platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (241 aa, ~27 kDa) is encoded by the human PDGFB gene. This protein is involved in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell survival and chemotaxis.

DesignNote

Platelet-derived growth factor subunit B can exist as either antiparallel disulfide-linked homodimers or as heterodimers with platelet-derived growth factor subunit A. A-A, B-B, and A-B, dimers can bind to PDGF receptors and elicit a variety of cellular responses.
