Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including platelet-derived growth factor binding activity; protein dimerization activity; and receptor ligand activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to platelet-derived growth factor stimulus; metanephric glomerulus vasculature development; and paracrine signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; salivary gland morphogenesis; and vasculature development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; cell surface; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be part of platelet-derived growth factor complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; extraembryonic component; female reproductive system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including basal ganglia calcification; clear cell renal cell carcinoma; dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans; familial meningioma; and high grade glioma (multiple). Orthologous to human PDGFB (platelet derived growth factor subunit B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
