What Does PDGFR Stand For?

PDGFR stands for Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor

PDGFR, or Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor, is a receptor protein on cell surfaces that binds to platelet-derived growth factors. It plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, migration, and survival. PDGFR is significant in development, wound healing, and the progression of certain diseases, including cancer and fibrotic disorders. Targeting PDGFR has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy in oncology and regenerative medicine.
