Biological Information
Background Information:
Receptors that are tyrosine protein kinases include those receptors for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and certain lymphokines. Receptor tyrosine kinases are cell surface transmembrane proteins responsible for intracellular signal transduction. They are expressed in several cell types and, after activation by growth factor binding, trigger a series of intracellular pathways leading to a wide variety of responses; e.g. differentiation, proliferation, migration and invasion, angiogenesis, survival. Inhibition of PDGFA, Alpha platelet-derived growth factor receptor, PDGF-R-alpha, CD140a antigen) receptor kinase may be useful in the treatment of several tumors.

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
Human recombinant protein kinase PDGFRA expressed in insect Sf21 cells is used. Test compound and/or vehicle is preincubated with 0.12 U/ml enzyme‡ for 15 minutes at 37°C in modified HEPES buffer pH 7.4. The reaction is initiated by addition of 0.2 mg/ml poly(Glu:Tyr), 10 µM ATP containing 0.25 µCi [γ32P]ATP for 30 minutes and terminated by further addition of 3% H3PO4. An aliquot is counted to determine the radioactivity of [32P]Poly(Glu:Tyr). Compounds are screened at 10 µM.
