PDGF-C

PDGF-C (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor C) is a protein that plays a key role in the body's processes of healing and tissue growth. It belongs to a family of growth factors that stimulate cells involved in tissue repair, blood vessel formation, and development. PDGF-C binds to specific receptors on the surface of certain cells, triggering signals that encourage these cells to divide, grow, and repair damaged tissues. This process is essential for normal healing, but it can also be involved in diseases if regulation goes wrong.
