* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Background: Pleiotrophin was initially recognized as a neurite outgrowth-promoting factor present in rat brain around birth and as a mitogen toward fibroblasts isolated from bovine uterus tissue. Together with midkine these growth-factors constitute a family of secreted heparin-binding proteins now known as the Neurite Growth-promoting Factor (NEGF) family. During embryonic and early postnatal development, Pleiotrophin is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system and also in several non-neural tissues, notably lung, kidney, gut and bone. Pleiotrophin is also expressed by several tumor cells and is thought to be involved in tumor angiogenesis. In the adult central nervous system. Pleiotrophin is expressed in an activity-dependent manner in the hippocampus, where it can suppress long term potentiation induction.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted heparin-binding growth factor. The protein has significant roles in cell growth and survival, cell migration, angiogenesis and tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
Uniprot Description
PTN: Secreted growth factor that induces neurite outgrowth and which is mitogenic for fibroblasts, epithelial, and endothelial cells. Binds anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) which induces MAPK pathway activation, an important step in the anti- apoptotic signaling of PTN and regulation of cell proliferation. Belongs to the pleiotrophin family.
Protein type: Secreted, signal peptide; Secreted
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q33
Cellular Component: extracellular space; endoplasmic reticulum
Molecular Function: heparin binding; growth factor activity; protein phosphatase inhibitor activity
Biological Process: nervous system development; positive regulation of cell division; positive regulation of cell proliferation; negative regulation of catalytic activity; learning; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase signaling pathway; bone mineralization

Product Notes
The Human PTN ptn (Catalog #AAA9716252) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9716252 ELISA Kit recognizes Human PTN. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Pleiotrophin (PTN), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
