Product Specifications

Background

Midkine (MK) is a member of a family of neurotrophic and developmentally-regulated heparin-binding molecules that currently consists of midkine, pleiotrophin/PTN and avian RI-HB. This gene is mapped to 3q24. Across species, MK shows 87% amino acid identity between the human and mouse proteins. Between family members, human MK is approximately 50% identical to human PTN.

Synonyms

Midkine; MK; Mdk

Expression system for standard: E.coli; Immunogen sequence: V21-D140

Tissue Specificity

Expressed at a low level in arteries, and at higher levels in newly formed neointima. In brain, expressed in the caudate nucleus and the brain stem.

ELISA

Field of Research

Growth and Development, Neurogenesis, Neurology Process, Neuroscience

Sample Type

Cell culture supernatants, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA, citrate) .

Detection Range

62.5 pg/ml - 4,000 pg/ml

Sensitivity

<10 pg/ml

Function

Developmentally regulated, secreted growth factor homologous to pleiotrophin (PTN), which has heparin binding activity. Binds anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) which induces ALK activation and subsequent phosphorylation of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS1), followed by the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and PI3-kinase, and the induction of cell proliferation. Involved in neointima formation after arterial injury, possibly by mediating leukocyte recruitment. Also involved in early fetal adrenal gland development.

Storage Conditions

Store at 4°C for 6 months, at -20°C for 12 months. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles (Ships with gel ice, can store for up to 3 days in room temperature. Freeze upon receiving.)
