Midkine - a host defence protein
… encounter pathogens or when an injury occurs. Midkine (MK) is a heparin-binding growth factor of 123 amino acids. It is composed of two domains with three anti-parallel β-sheets in each domain and five disulphide bonds stabilize the structure. We found that MK has both antibacterial as well as …

FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF ANAPLASTIC LYMPHOMA KINASE DURING EMBRYONIC NEUROGENESIS IN ZEBRAFISH
… CNS, but left progenitor formation intact. Also Midkine, a putative ligand for Alk and receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase zeta (RPTPz), a known Alk interactor, are briefly discussed.

The role of heparin and heparin-binding growth factors in pre-eclampsia
… epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), midkine (MK), pleiotrophin (PTN), and cluster differentiation (CD105). The localisation of HBGFs and receptors VEGFR-1, /(sflt-1), PLGFR-1, VEGFR-2 and FGF2R-1 in placenta were detected. The expression of VEGF, PLGF, FGF2, HGF, PDGF, CD105 was …

Molecular mechanisms of floor plate formation and neural patterning in zebrafish
… the function of the novel secreted growth factor Midkine-a (Mdka) in zebrafish. In higher vertebrates, mdk and the related factor pleiotrophin (ptn) are widely expressed during embryogenesis and are implicated in a variety of processes. The in-vivo function of both factors, however, is unclear, as …
