PDGFRB
Beta-type platelet-derived growth factor receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PDGFRB gene.
Findings indicate that PDGFRβ+ and Olig2+ cells contribute to the proliferative fraction following penetrating brain injuries, with evidence of pericyte migration. Dynamic changes in Cx43 in glial cell types with dpi suggests functional alterations during temporal stages of brain repair 1).
