The following Midkine ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of midkine in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the MDK gene. 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 has been described to be a secreted protein. In addition, it is reported to be expressed in various tumor cell lines. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, . This protein may also be known as MK, NEGF2, amphiregulin-associated protein, midgestation and kidney protein, neurite growth-promoting factor 2, and ARAP.
There are midkine ELISA kits that can detect a target at concentrations as low as 5 pg/mL and as high as 4500 ng/mL. Use the search filters to narrow your search and click on the ELISA kits below for more detailed information, such as reactivity and assay sensitivity.
