Pdgfd - platelet derived growth factor D

Predicted to enable platelet-derived growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to growth factor stimulus; positive regulation of cell migration; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in extracellular space. Used to study glomerulonephritis and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. Biomarker of liver cirrhosis; mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis; and myocardial infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostatic hypertrophy. Orthologous to human PDGFD (platelet derived growth factor D). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
