8.A.23.1.66
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha, Pdgfra, of 1089 aas and 2 TMSs, one N-terminal and one at ~ residue 530.  It is a tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as a cell-surface receptor for PDGFA, PDGFB and PDGFC and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, survival and chemotaxis. Depending on the context, promotes or inhibits cell proliferation and cell migration. Plays an important role in the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Required for normal skeleton development and cephalic closure during embryonic development (Griffin et al. 2003). See also TC# 2.A.1.1.28 (Zhang and Xu 2023).
