Antigen Preparation
A 143 aa recombinant protein of the full length human Midkine. This sequence has 90% homologues to rat and mouse.
Background
"Midkine is a member of a family of developmentally regulated neurotrophic and heparin-binding growth factors. It has heparin binding activity and growth promoting activity. The midkine is involved in neointima formation after arterial injury, possibly by mediating leukocyte recruitment. This protein is also involved in early fetal adrenal gland development. Midkine may be an important skeletal muscle growth-promoting factor that participates in the growth process during skeletal muscle development, proliferation, and differentiation, and in the skeletal muscle regeneration in various neuromuscular disorders."
