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 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. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Note=Released by platelets upon wounding. |
Tissue Location | Localized to vascular smooth muscle cells. Also weakly expressed by cortical interstitial cells but absent in tubules Up-regulated in areas of renal fibrosis. In mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction, an increased expression in interstitial cells and in some tubules observed after day 4. |

Background
Mouse Platelet Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen for a wide range of cell types including fibroblasts, smooth muscle and connective tissue. PDGF-BB is a 24.4.0 kDa protein containing 109 amino acid residues. The reduced form of PDGF-BB shows ~14-18 kDa on SDS-PAGE.
