Figure 2. PDGFRα/PDGF-A signaling.

Figure 2.

PDGF-AA homodimers bind and induce the dimerization and autophosphorylation of the PDGFRαα homodimer receptor. Subsequently, SH2 domain-containing signaling effectors are recruited to the receptor by binding to specific phosphorylated tyrosine residues, initiating downstream signaling cascades.
