  Domain Name: PDGF
Platelet-derived and vascular endothelial growth factors (PDGF, VEGF) family domain; PDGF is a potent activator for cells of mesenchymal origin; PDGF-A and PDGF-B form AA and BB homodimers and an AB heterodimer; VEGF is a potent mitogen in embryonic and somatic angiogenesis with a unique specificity for vascular endothelial cells; VEGF forms homodimers and exists in 4 different isoforms; overall, the VEGF monomer resembles that of PDGF, but its N-terminal segment is helical rather than extended; the cysteine knot motif is a common feature of this domain
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
