The receptor for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a receptor tyrosine kinase. Gleevec is a drug that binds the domain of the receptor that binds ATP preventing the receptor from using ATP, which is required for auto-phosphorylation. Thus, Gleevec would be properly described as ______________?
(Write out why the correct answer is correct and why the other answers are incorrect. Your explanation should be 2-5 complete, coherent sentences.) <-------- This is what I'm asking for, the answer is already provided below.
A. a competitive antagonist of PDGF
B. a non-competitive antagonist of PDGF (CORRECT ANSWER)
C. a functional antagonist of PDGF
D. a chemical antagonist of PDGF
E. an inverse agonist of the PDGF receptor
