Supplementary information

Platelet-derived growth factor AA or PDGF-AA is a member of the PDGF protein family which is involved in various cellular processes. The PDGF-AA protein has a molecular mass of approximately 24 kDa. It is expressed in a wide range of tissues including fibroblasts smooth muscle cells and neurons. The protein is considered a homodimer composed of two A chains and it plays an important role in cell signaling by binding to PDGF receptors on the surface of target cells.
Biological function summary

PDGF-AA influences cell proliferation migration and differentiation. It acts as a mitogen especially for mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. PDGF-AA is often part of a signaling complex where it activates PDGF receptor-alpha (PDGFR-α) leading to autophosphorylation and subsequent activation of downstream effectors. This strengthens tissue development and wound healing processes.

Pathways

PDGF-AA integrates into critical signaling pathways like the PI3K/AKT pathway and the MAPK/ERK pathway. These pathways regulate cell growth and survival. PDGF-AA binds specifically to PDGFR-α which shares importance with other PDGF isoforms such as PDGF-BB in orchestrating cellular responses through similar pathways thereby ensuring precise physiological outcomes.

PDGF-AA is implicated in conditions like cancer and fibrosis. Aberrant signaling involving PDGF-AA can lead to unchecked cell proliferation contributing to tumorigenesis. Similarly PDGF-AA is connected to fibrotic diseases where excessive tissue scarring occurs due to overactive fibroblast stimulation. PDGF-BB another member of the PDGF protein family often gets studied alongside PDGF-AA for their combined roles in these pathological states.

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. Required for normal lung alveolar septum formation during embryogenesis, normal development of the gastrointestinal tract, normal development of Leydig cells and spermatogenesis. Required for normal oligodendrocyte development and normal myelination in the spinal cord and cerebellum. Plays an important role in wound healing. Signaling is modulated by the formation of heterodimers with PDGFB (By similarity).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family.
