Summary
This gene encodes a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family of proteins. Binding of platelet-derived growth factor protein ligands to this receptor triggers receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation, resulting in the activation of several downstream signaling pathways. Signaling through the encoded receptor plays a role in gastrulation and the development of nearly all organ systems. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene reportedly exhibit defects in lung, skeleton, testis and the central nervous system, and die soon after birth. Alternative splicing and intronic polyadenylation of gene transcripts have been implicated in muscle regeneration and fibrosis in adult mice. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

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.
