Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables platelet-derived growth factor alpha-receptor activity and platelet-derived growth factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circulatory system development; embryonic organ morphogenesis; and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including face morphogenesis; reproductive structure development; and signal transduction involved in regulation of gene expression. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; external side of plasma membrane; and microvillus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and heart and pericardium. Used to study congenital diaphragmatic hernia and scimitar syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hematologic cancer (multiple); hypereosinophilic syndrome; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human PDGFRA (platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha).
