Gene information for PDGFC (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID56034
Official gene symbolPDGFC
Full nameplatelet derived growth factor C
Aliases,FALLOTEIN,SCDGF,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a core motif of eight cysteines. This gene product appears to form only homodimers. It differs from the platelet-derived growth factor alpha and beta polypeptides in having an unusual N-terminal domain, the CUB domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
