PDGF-B a protein encoded by the PDGFB gene which is approximately 27, 2 kDa. PDGF-B is secreted into the extracellular space. It is involved in RET signalling, apoptotic pathways, GAB1 signalosome and the GPCR pathway. It is a growth factor that plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell migration, survival and chemotaxis. It is required for normal proliferation and recruitment of pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells in the central nervous system, skin, lung, heart and placenta. It also plays an important role in wound healing. PDGF-B is expressed at high levels in the heart, brain, placenta and foetal kidney. Mutations in the PDGFB gene may result in basal ganglia calcification and familial meningioma. STJ94996 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of PDGF-B protein.
