Cat. No.	Z102175
Name	Recombinant Human Midkine (NEGF2) (E. coli)
Description	Midkine and its functionally-related protein Pleiotrophin (PTN), are heparin-binding neurotrophic factors that signal through the same receptor. Midkine is involved in a number of biological processes including the migration of neutrophils, inflammatory leukocytes, macrophages, neuronal cells, and osteoclasts. Midkine is a basic, non-glycosylated polypeptide that contains five intra-chain disulfide bonds. There is 87% identity between the human and murine Midkine and approximately 50% identity between human Midkine and human PTN with the conservation of all 10 cysteines.

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.

	What is the shelf life and storage condition of this product?
	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
