Product Overview

Abbreviation
Recombinant Human MDK protein (Active)
Alternative names
MK, ARAP, Midgestation and kidney protein, Neurite outgrowth-promoting factor 2, Neurite outgrowth-promoting protein
Buffer [rich text]
Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered PBS, pH7.4
Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU/μg as determined by LAL method.
Expression region
21-143aa
Form
Lyophilized powder
Function
Developmentally regulated, secreted growth factor homologous to pleiotrophin (PTN), which has heparin binding activity. Binds anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) which induces ALK activation and subsequent phosphorylation of the insulin receptor substrate (IRS1), followed by the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and PI3-kinase, and the induction of cell proliferation. Involved in neointima formation after arterial injury, possibly by mediating leukocyte recruitment. Also involved in early fetal adrenal gland development (By similarity).
Gene names
MDK
Mw
13.4 kDa
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4℃ for up to one week.
Organism
Homo sapiens (Human)
Protein length
Full Length of Mature Protein
Purity
>97% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Reconstitution [rich text]
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Storage
The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20℃/-80℃. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20℃/-80℃.
