MDK / Midkine

midkine (neurite growth-promoting factor 2)

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.

Gene Name: midkine (neurite growth-promoting factor 2)
Synonyms: MDK, ARAP, MK, MK1, NEGF2, Midkine, Retinoic acid inducible factor
Target Sequences: NM_002391 NP_002382.1 P21741
