Biological function summary
The PDGF AB protein promotes cellular proliferation and migration particularly in the context of wound healing and development. It forms part of a larger family of PDGF molecules that include homodimers and heterodimers and it requires specific receptor binding to exert its function. As a member of the growth factor family PDGF AB contributes to the signaling pathway that regulates tissue growth and repair processes.
Pathways
PDGF AB fits significantly into the PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways. These pathways are key in regulating cellular growth and survival and they involve interactions with important proteins like Ras and AKT. The activity of PDGF AB in these pathways affects various downstream molecular processes making it an integral component of cellular signaling networks.

General info
Function
Growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. Potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin (PubMed : 26599395). Required for normal proliferation and recruitment of pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells in the central nervous system, skin, lung, heart and placenta. Required for normal blood vessel development, and for normal development of kidney glomeruli. Plays an important role in wound healing. Signaling is modulated by the formation of heterodimers with PDGFA (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.
