Beta-type platelet-derived growth factor receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PDGFRB gene. This gene encodes a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. These growth factors are mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin. The identity of the growth factor bound to a receptor monomer determines whether the functional receptor is a homodimer or a heterodimer, composed of both platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha and beta polypeptides. This gene is flanked on chromosome 5 by the genes for granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and macrophage-colony stimulating factor receptor; all three genes may be implicated in the 5q- syndrome. A translocation between chromosomes 5 and 12, that fuses this gene to that of the translocation, ETV6, leukemia gene, results in chronic myeloproliferative disorder with eosinophilia.[2]
PDGFRB has been shown to interact with PTPN11,[3][4] NCK1,[5][6] Grb2,[6][7][8] Caveolin 1,[9] PDGFRA,[10][11] Sodium-hydrogen antiporter 3 regulator 1,[12] RAS p21 protein activator 1,[13][14] CRK,[15] SHC1[16] and NCK2.[6][17][18]
