Escherichia Coli.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by HPLC and SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. Determined by its ability to chemoattract human neutrophils using a concentration range of 10-100 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 10,000-100,000IU/mg.

More Info

  • Introduction

    Midkine (MK) is the product of a retinoic acid responsive gene, MK, and is a member of a family of heparin binding factors. It contains 121 amino acid residues including 10 conserved cysteine residues, all of which appear to be disulphide linked.
    Midkine is expressed during embryogenesis, showing an expression pattern that suggests functions in neurogenesis, cell migration, secondary organogenetic induction, and mesoderm-epithelial interaction.
    The widespread downregulation of MK in the adult human is reverted in a number of cancers, in which polypeptides are able to act as both transforming growth factors and promoters of angiogenesis.
    Midkine (MK), induces chemotaxis of human neutrophils and was found to trigger mobilization of intracellular calcium of these cells.
    Midkine induces histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells with a rapid response in a dose dependent manner.
    Midkine is also a potent stimulator of collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

  • Physical Appearance

    Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

  • Stability

    Lyophilized Midkine Mouse although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Midkine Mouse should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

  • Solubility

    It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Midkine Mouse in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
