Identical or overlapping sequences in the primary structure of human alpha(2)-macroglobulin are responsible for the binding of nerve growth factor-beta, platelet-derived growth factor-BB, and transforming growth factor-beta.

alpha(2)-Macroglobulin (alpha(2)M) functions as a proteinase inhibitor and as a carrier of diverse growth factors. In this study, we localized binding sites for platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and nerve growth factor-beta (NGF-beta) to a linear sequence in the 180-kDa human alpha(2)M subunit which includes amino acids 591-774. A glutathione S-transferase fusion protein containing amino acids 591-774 (FP3) bound PDGF-BB and ... [more]
