Product details

Human PDGF R alpha ELISA Kit (ab242246) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of PDGF R alpha protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, serum, and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human PDGF R alpha with 1.89 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Supplementary information

PDGFR alpha also known as platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha is a cell surface receptor tyrosine kinase with a mass of approximately 123 kDa. It plays a mechanical role in transmitting signals across the cell membrane initiating cellular responses. PDGFR alpha is widely expressed in mesenchymal cells including fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. Researchers frequently employ techniques such as PDGFRA IHC and PDGFRA staining to study the localization and expression levels in tissues.
Biological function summary

PDGFR alpha mediates cell proliferation survival and differentiation especially in embryonic development and wound healing. The receptor often forms a complex by dimerizing with itself or with PDGFR beta to activate intracellular signaling cascades. This process is initiated upon ligand binding which triggers autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues. The receptor is also recognized in the detection of PDGFRA with assays such as PDGFRA ELISA.

Pathways

PDGFR alpha significantly affects the MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways which regulate cellular growth and survival signals. Through these pathways PDGFR alpha interacts with related proteins like SHP-2 and PI3K contributing to signal transduction involved in cellular responses. This role links PDGFR alpha to important cellular processes via its kinase activity and signal integration.

PDGFR alpha is implicated in conditions such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It connects to proteins such as KIT in GISTs where mutations cause aberrant receptor signaling leading to tumorigenesis. Aberrant PDGFR alpha signaling also associates with IPF a disorder characterized by increased fibroblast proliferation and fibrotic tissue formation. These connections make PDGFR alpha a significant target for research and therapeutic intervention.

Target data

Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for PDGFA, PDGFB and PDGFC and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, survival and chemotaxis. Depending on the context, promotes or inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration. Plays an important role in the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Required for normal skeleton development and cephalic closure during embryonic development. Required for normal development of the mucosa lining the gastrointestinal tract, and for recruitment of mesenchymal cells and normal development of intestinal villi. Plays a role in cell migration and chemotaxis in wound healing. Plays a role in platelet activation, secretion of agonists from platelet granules, and in thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. Binding of its cognate ligands - homodimeric PDGFA, homodimeric PDGFB, heterodimers formed by PDGFA and PDGFB or homodimeric PDGFC -leads to the activation of several signaling cascades; the response depends on the nature of the bound ligand and is modulated by the formation of heterodimers between PDGFRA and PDGFRB. Phosphorylates PIK3R1, PLCG1, and PTPN11. Activation of PLCG1 leads to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, mobilization of cytosolic Ca(2+) and the activation of protein kinase C. Phosphorylates PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and thereby mediates activation of the AKT1 signaling pathway. Mediates activation of HRAS and of the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. Promotes activation of STAT family members STAT1, STAT3 and STAT5A and/or STAT5B. Receptor signaling is down-regulated by protein phosphatases that dephosphorylate the receptor and its down-stream effectors, and by rapid internalization of the activated receptor.
