MDK ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein midkine, which is encoded by the MDK gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is reported to be a secreted protein that functions as cytokine and growth factor and mediates its signal through cell-surface proteoglycan and non-proteoglycan receptors. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 143 residues, a mass of 15.6 kDa, and is a member of the Pleiotrophin protein family. It is known to be secreted and is reported to be expressed in various tumor cell lines. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. Other alias names for this target include MK, NEGF2, amphiregulin-associated protein, midgestation and kidney protein, neurite growth-promoting factor 2, and ARAP.
There are MDK ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 5 pg/mL and as high as 4500 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
