Transmembrane PDGFR fusion proteins dimerize independent of ligand stimulation, driven by the presence of a dimerization domain provided by the N-terminal fusion partner of the PDGFR protein (Stover et al, 2006; Carroll et al, 1996; Ozawa et al, 2010; Medves et al, 2010; Willbanks et al, 2000; reviewed in Wang et al, 2016; Appiah-Kubi et al, 2017).
