Recombinant Mouse Midkine Protein, CF Summary
Product Specifications
Lys23-Asp140, with an N-terminal Met
Analysis
Product Datasheets
Carrier Free
CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.
In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: Midkine
Midkine (MK), also known as Neurite Growth Promoting Factor 2 (NEGF2), belongs to a family of neurotrophic and developmentally-regulated heparin-binding molecules consisting of MK and pleiotrophin (1). MK is a highly basic, non-glycosylated polypeptide consisting of two domains stabilized by five intrachain disulfide bonds (2). Mature mouse MK is 118 amino acids (aa) in length, approximately 13 kDa, and shares 85% and 95% aa sequence identity with the human and rat protein, respectively. MK was originally identified as being over-expressed during embryogenesis but having minimal expression in adult tissue (3). While early evidence suggested MK promoted neurite outgrowth (4), MK has since been implicated in diverse biological processes ranging from angiogenesis and neurogenesis to inflammation and disease (5, 6). Depending on the function, MK signals through a wide range of varied receptors from Receptor-like Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase beta (RPTP-beta ) to syndecans to Lipoprotein receptor-related proteins (Lrp1) (5, 6). MK may play a significant role in tumorigenesis as over-expression has been observed in many cancers and research has focused on the utility of using MK as a biomarker for cancer and other diseases (5, 7, 8). The presence of MK in the senile plaques of patients with Alzheimer's disease is believed to suppress progression of the disease (9), while MK over-expression in pancreatic or breast cancer is associated with poor prognosis (7, 10, 11).
