products description :
Midkine, also known as Neurite Growth-promoting Factor 2, is a basic heparin-binding growth factor of low molecular weight, a member of the NEGF family whose founding member is pleiotrophin. This protein exhibits neurite outgrowth-promoting activity and may play a role in nervous system development and/or maintenance. Midkine is pleiotropic, capable of exerting activities such as cell proliferation, cell migration, angiogenesis and fibrinolysis. Recombinant human Midkine protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of a small family of secreted growth factors that binds heparin and responds to retinoic acid. The encoded protein promotes cell growth, migration, and angiogenesis, in particular during tumorigenesis. This gene has been targeted as a therapeutic for a variety of different disorders. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
uniprot summary :
MDK: 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. Belongs to the pleiotrophin family. Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11p11.2. Cellular Component: cell projection; cytoplasm; extracellular region. Molecular Function: heparin binding; growth factor activity. Biological Process: response to drug; nervous system development; Notch signaling pathway; cell migration; behavioral fear response; dentate gyrus development; cerebellar granular layer development; short-term memory; adrenal gland development; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; response to glucocorticoid stimulus; signal transduction; positive regulation of cell division; response to wounding; negative regulation of neuron apoptosis; cerebral cortex development; cell differentiation; defecation; regulation of behavior
