The protein expressed by the PDGFRB gene is a tyrosine-protein kinase that functions as a cell-surface receptor for various PDGF homodimers and heterodimers, playing an essential role in embryonic development, cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, chemotaxis, and migration. It is crucial for blood vessel development by promoting the proliferation and migration of, as well as recruitment of, pericytes and smooth muscle cells to endothelial cells. It has a role in vascular smooth muscle cell migration and neointima formation at injury sites, and is necessary for normal cardiovascular development and pericyte recruitment in kidney glomeruli. The protein facilitates actin cytoskeleton rearrangement and membrane ruffle formation. Ligand binding activates signaling cascades depending on the ligand bound and interactions with PDGFRA, leading to phosphorylation of several substrates, activation of signaling pathways such as AKT1, MAPK, and SRC family kinases, and production of molecules like diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate. Receptor signaling is downregulated by protein phosphatases and receptor internalization. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

PDGFR beta also known as PDGFR-b or PDGFRB is a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor with a molecular mass of about 180 kDa. It binds the PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) family of ligands. PDGFR beta is commonly found in various tissues including blood vessels and connective tissues and is highly expressed in cells like pericytes and fibroblasts. The receptor plays a critical role in cell signaling mechanisms involving proliferation chemotaxis and survival.
The receptor plays an essential role in the regulation of cell growth and development. PDGFR beta undergoes dimerization and autophosphorylation upon ligand binding initiating a series of downstream signaling cascades. This receptor is often part of a complex with other receptor proteins promoting interactions necessary for signal propagation. Its main biological functions include mediating cellular responses to environmental signals that contribute to tissue repair and angiogenesis.
PDGFR beta is an important player within the PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways. It works alongside proteins such as PI3K and Ras to regulate cellular responses related to growth and survival. These pathways facilitate cross-talk with other cellular processes influencing various cellular outcomes. This receptor's activity regulates critical physiological functions by providing signals that maintain cellular homeostasis under various physiological conditions.
PDGFR beta has significant implications in the progression of cancer and fibrotic diseases. Its overexpression or mutation can lead to anomalous signaling that contributes to tumorigenesis particularly in connective tissue tumors known as sarcomas. Additionally PDGFR beta's role in promoting fibroblast activity makes it relevant in fibrotic diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis. Abnormal activation of PDGFR beta can interact with related proteins like VEGF receptors enhancing pathogenic responses and contributing to disease severity.
