Open AccessSUMOylation of PDGF receptor α affects signaling via PLCγ and STAT3, and cell proliferation
The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family of ligands exerts their cellular effects by binding to α- and β-tyrosine kinase receptors (PDGFRα and PDGFRβ, respectively). SUMOylation is an important posttra...
