Background: 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 molecule’s neurite-promoting sequences; both the amino- and carboxy-terminal sequences are required for the molecule’s neurotrophic properties.

Purification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

Storage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Specificity: MDK polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of MDK protein.

Bioworld Molecular Weight: ~ 18 kDa
