    basic FUNCTION
  • potent mitogen for cells of mesenchymal origin, also involved in transformation process
  • potent negative regulator of smooth muscle cell (SMC) differentiation
  • might be involved in the activation of primordial follicles
  • growth factor involved in the recruitment and function of pericytes
  • PDGFB signaling in trophoblasts is a key component of the unique placental hematopoietic microenvironment that protects hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) from premature differentiation
  • induces senescence and transformation in normal human fibroblasts, but has a limited ability to induce senescence
  • mitogen for hepatic stellate cells (HSC)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    cell to cell signaling
    a component
  • homodimerizing or heterodimerizing with PDGFA,(PDGFBB or PDGFAB)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • PDGFRA, PDGFRB
  • XLKD1
  • PDGFB may regulate THBD expression in VSMCs during vascular remodelling
  • SERPINA12 significantly inhibited PDGFB-induced smooth muscle cells (SMCs) migration
  • PDGFB-induced activation of MAPK14 was significantly suppressed by SERPINA12
  • SF1 antagonizes PDGFB-induced growth and dedifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells
  • angiogenesis is stimulated by KLK12 acting via a PDGFB-dependent paracrine pathway
  • LHX2 promotes tumor growth and metastasis by inducing autocrine and paracrine PDGFB signaling
  • NOTCH2 inhibits PDGFB-dependent proliferation and its expression is decreased by PDGFB
  • cell & other
