PDGFRA (plateletderived growth factor receptor alpha), also known as CD140a and PDGFR2, is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein in the CSF-1/PDGF receptor subfamily of the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) family. Like other family members, PDGFRA contains 5 immunoglobulinlike (Ig) domains in the extracellular region and a split tyrosine kinase domain in the intracellular region. PDGFRA and its closely related homolog PDGFRB can form homo or heterodimeric receptors when engaged by disulfidelinked dimers of the PDGF family of growth factors, including PDGF-A, B, C or D, or the heterodimer PDGFAB that is mainly found in human platelets. PDGFRA is expressed in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells and mesothelial cell, and binds all three ligand isoforms PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB with high affinity. PDGFRA plays an essential role in regulating proliferation, chemotaxis and migration of mesangial cells. Abnormal PDGFRA signaling in humans may result in spina bifida or cleft palate-type malformations. PDGFRA may also be a critical mediator of signaling in testis organogenesis and Leydig cell differentiation, and in kidney development. PDGFRA is involved in tumor angiogenesis and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment. PDGFRA has been implicated in development and metastasis of liver cancer. PDGFRA is implicated in gliomas and fibrotic disorders of lung, heart and skin (scleroderma). PDGFRA gene amplification may be the underlying genetic mechanism driving PDGFRA overexpression in a portion of gliomas.
Gene Symbol: PDGFRA; CD140A; PDGF-R-alpha; PDGFR2; PDGFR-2; RHEPDGFRA
NCBI Gene ID: 5156
Uniprot Entry: P16234
Construct Details: Full length human PDGFRA/CD140A gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter with or without a selection marker, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells. It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.
Vector Type: pLTC or pLTC-IRES-Marker (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter with/without a selection marker, see the vector map above)
Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:
(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;
(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’
Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification. High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
