Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Mouse Midkine on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%.

Background :
Midkine is a heparin-binding growth factor, originally reported as the product of a retinoic acid-responsive gene during embryogenesis, but currently viewed as a multifaceted factor contributing to both normal tissue homeostasis and disease development. Midkine is abnormally expressed at high levels in various human malignancies and acts as a mediator for the acquisition of critical hallmarks of cancer, including cell growth, survival, metastasis, migration, and angiogenesis.

Synonyms :
MK; ARAP; MDK; MEK; MK1; MKARAP; NEGF2
