Preparation and Storage

Background: PDGFRL

Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-like protein (PDGFRL) is a 67 kDa glycoprotein protein consisting of two Ig-like C2-type domains. By sequence similarity, mouse PDGFRL is 90% similar to the human version and 95% similar to that of the rat. It is a secreted protein related to the class III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK), the platelet-derived growth factor receptors (1-5). The high frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) near the gene of PDGFRL indicated in several studies that PDGFRL can be a tumor suppressor gene (TSG) in breast cancer (6-9), colorectal cancer, prostate cancer (10), non-small cell lung cancers (11) and hepatocellular carcinoma (12). A variant of PDGFRL is found to play a role in the development of Behçet disease, a complex immunoregulatory disease (13). The autoimmune role of PDGFRL is also supported by its up-regulation in a mouse model for Rheumatoid Arthritis (14). Another study also showed that PDGFRL may play a role in chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation (15).
