Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a key mitogen for mesenchymal cells and involved in wound healing. This review covers PDGF's structure, biology, and role in disease pathogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Context:

  • Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a critical regulator of cell growth and migration.
  • PDGF is secreted by various cell types, not just platelets.
  • Homology exists between PDGF and viral transforming proteins.

Purpose:

  • To summarize the current understanding of PDGF's structure and biology.
  • To review the functional roles of PDGF in cellular processes.
  • To explore PDGF's involvement in disease pathogenesis.

Summary:

  • PDGF acts as a principal mitogen for mesenchymal cells.
  • It functions as a chemotactic protein, crucial for wound healing.
  • Recent findings indicate PDGF's potential role in various disease processes.
