Product Overview
Clone AAOE-16 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (gene PDGFRA) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 122.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 180 kDa.
PDGFRα is a receptor tyrosine kinase that binds PDGF-A, PDGF-B and PDGF-C dimers and signals through PI3K, PLCγ and SHP2. It drives proliferation, migration and differentiation of mesenchymal cells and is required for skeletal, gut and neural crest development. Activating PDGFRA mutations occur in some gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Conditions in the example images (WB): 8% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1:500 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human PDGFR alpha.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha in the cell membrane, cell projection and Golgi apparatus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Detected in platelets (at protein level).

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
