Description
Predicted to have platelet-derived growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in cardiac muscle progenitor cell migration to the midline involved in heart field formation. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in malignant glioma. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural keel; chordo neural hinge; diencephalon; endoderm; and head. Orthologous to human PDGFA (platelet derived growth factor subunit A).
