Recombinant Rat Midkine Protein

Midkine, also named MK, MK1, NEGF 2, is belonging to the neurotrophic and developmentally-regulated heparin-binding molecules family and it is encoded by the MDK gene. Midkine includes five intrachain disulfide bonds which held two domains and there are three antiparallel beta-sheets in each domain. A chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, protein-tyrosine phosphatase zeta (PTPzeta), is a receptor for MK. MK promotes the growth, survival, and migration of various cells, and plays roles in neurogenesis and epithelial mesenchymal interactions during organogenesis. The predicted molecular weight is approximately 13.2 kDa, based on a mature peptide length of 118 amino acid residues in the mouse and 121 amino acid residues in the human. Mature rat midkine shares 99% and 91% a.a. sequence identity with human and murine midkine, respectively.
