Midkine (MDK) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, WB
Recommend Dilution	Neutralization. ELISA: To detect hMidkine by direct ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of at least 0.5 µg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hMidkine. Western Blot: To detect hMidkine by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hMidkine is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Gene Name	midkine (neurite growth-promoting factor 2)
Database Link	Entrez Gene 4192 Human UniProt ID P21741
Background	Midkine exhibits neurite outgrowth-promoting activity and may play a role in nervous system development and/or maintenance. Its expression is predominant only for a short period from approximately one-half to two-thirds of the way through gestation; before and after that, it is barely detectable. Midkine was first found in differentiating mouse teratocarcinoma cells. It has neurotrophic activities and is mitogenic to certain, but not to all, fibroblast cell lines.
Synonyms	MK, MDK, MK1, NEGF2, Neurite outgrowth-promoting protein
