  • Journal of biochemistry
  • 1 September 2002
Midkine (MK) and pleiotrophin (PTN) are low molecular weight proteins with closely related structures. They are mainly composed of two domains held by disulfide bridges, and there are three… Expand

Loss of MCT1, MCT3, and MCT4 expression in the retinal pigment epithelium and neural retina of the 5A11/basigin-null mouse.
PURPOSE The neural retina expresses multiple monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) that are likely to play a key role in the metabolism of the outer retina. Recently, it was reported that targeting of… Expand

Midkine and pleiotrophin in neural development and cancer.
The midkine (MK) family consists of only two members, namely heparin-binding growth factors MK and pleiotrophin (PTN). During embryogenesis, MK is highly expressed in the mid-gestational period,… Expand

Cell proliferation, apoptosis and apoptosis-related factors in odontogenic keratocysts and in dentigerous cysts.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to elucidate why odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) can form cystic lesions but not tumor masses, notwithstanding their prominent proliferative activity. METHODS… Expand

Retina-specific expression of 5A11/Basigin-2, a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily.
PURPOSE 5A11/Basigin has recently been identified as a critical glycoprotein for full maturity and function of the mouse retina. However, the biological function of 5A11/Basigin has yet to be… Expand

Midkine Inhibits Caspase‐Dependent Apoptosis via the Activation of Mitogen‐Activated Protein Kinase and Phosphatidylinositol 3‐Kinase in Cultured Neurons
Midkine (MK) is a new member of the heparin-binding neurotrophic factor family. MK plays important roles in development and carcinogenesis and has several important biological effects, including… Expand

Haptotactic Migration Induced by Midkine
Midkine, a heparin-binding growth factor, plays a critical role in cell migration causing suppression of neointima formation in midkine-deficient mice. Here we have determined the molecules essential… Expand

A receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase PTPzeta/RPTPbeta binds a heparin-binding growth factor midkine. Involvement of arginine 78 of midkine in the high affinity binding to PTPzeta.
Midkine is a 13-kDa heparin-binding growth factor with 45% sequence identity to pleiotrophin. Pleiotrophin has been demonstrated to bind to protein-tyrosine phosphatase zeta (PTPzeta) with high… Expand

LDL receptor-related protein as a component of the midkine receptor.
Midkine (MK) is a heparin-binding growth factor with migration-promoting and survival-promoting activities. To identify signaling receptor(s) of MK, membrane glycoproteins with MK-binding activity… Expand
