Related Product Information for anti-MDK antibody
Midkine, or MK, is a heparin-binding molecule involved in the regulation of growth and differentiation during embryogenesis. MK expression is tightly regulated during embryonic development by steroid receptors of the retinoic acid superfamily. The mature human MK protein is 118 amino acids in length and contains five intrachain disulfide bonds. MK is a non-glycosylated protein that shows greater than 87% identity between human and mouse. The carboxy-terminus of MK contains the principle heparin-binding site and the molecules neurite-promoting sequences; both the amino- and carboxy-terminal sequences are required for the molecules neurotrophic properties. An association between overexpression of MK and colon adenocarcinoma has been shown in families suffering from familial polyposis. In addition, MK functions to enhance the activity of plasminogen activator (PA).

NCBI Description

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 Description

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; Secreted, signal peptide

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; cell migration; Notch signaling pathway; dentate gyrus development; behavioral fear response; 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; cerebral cortex development; negative regulation of neuron apoptosis; cell differentiation; defecation; regulation of behavior

Product Notes

The MDK mdk (Catalog #AAA3013042) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Midkine Polyclonal Antibody reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Midkine can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP). WB: 1:500-1:1,000 IHC: 1:50-1:200. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MDK mdk for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Midkine, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.
