Recombinant Murine Midkine (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167315-25). Midkine (MK) and its functionally-related protein pleiotrophin are heparin-binding neurotrophic factors that signal through the same receptor, known as anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). MK plays an important regulatory role in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during fetal development and in postnatal lung development. MK chemoattracts embryonic neurons, neutrophils and macrophages, and exerts angiogenic, growth and survival activities during tumorgenesis. Recombinant Murine Midkine is a 13.3 kDa protein containing 120 amino acid residues including five intra-molecular disulfide bonds.

Recombinant Murine Adiponectin (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167315-26). Adiponectin is an adipose-derived secreted protein containing 236 amino acid residues. It is relatively abundant in humans and rodents, accounting for about 0.01% of total plasma protein. The circulating levels of adiponectin are decreased under conditions of obesity, insulin resistance, and type II diabetes. Disruption of adiponectin in mice causes insulin resistance and neointimal formation. Conversely, administration of recombinant adiponectin suppresses hepatic glucose production, and reverses insulin resistance associated with both lipoatrophy and obesity. The protective role of adiponectin is attributed to its anti-inflammatory properties (e.g. ability to suppress expression of TNF-alpha and class A scavenger receptor in macrophages). Recombinant Murine Adiponectin is a multimeric glycoprotein containing amino acids Val-21 to Asn-247 of the adiponectin precursor protein fused to an N-terminal histidine tag. As a

Recombinant Murine BMP-4 (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167315-27). Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) constitute a subfamily within the TGF-beta superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Members of this superfamily are widely distributed throughout the body, and are involved in diverse physiological processes during both pre- and postnatal life. Like BMP-7, BMP-4 is involved in the development and maintenance of bone and cartilage. Reduced expression of BMP-4 is associated with a number of bone diseases, including the heritable disorder Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva. PeproTech's E.coli derived murine BMP-4 is a fully active homodimeric protein consisting of two 106 amino acid subunits which correspond to amino acids 303-408 of the full length BMP-4 precursor. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Murine BMP-4 is 23.9 kDa.

Recombinant Murine EG-VEGF (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167315-29). EG-VEGF is a secreted angiogenetic mitogen growth factor expressed in the steroidogenic glands, ovary, testis, adrenal gland, and placenta. EG-VEGF induces proliferation, migration, and fenestration (formation of membrane discontinuities) in capillary endothelial cells derived from endocrine glands. The murine EG-VEGF gene codes for a 105 amino acid polypeptide containing an N-terminal signal sequence of 19 amino acids. Recombinant Murine EG-VEGF is a 9.6 kDa protein consisting of 86 amino acid residues, including ten cysteine residues that potentially form five pairs of intra-molecular disulfide bonds.

Recombinant Murine TFF-2 (Legacy Tebubio ref. 167315-30). The Trefoil Factor peptides (TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3) are expressed in the gastrointestinal tract, and appear to play an important role in intestinal mucosal defense and repair. TFF2 has been shown to inhibit gastrointestinal motility and gastric acid secretion. Recent data suggests a potential role for TFF2 in acute and chronic asthma (Nikolaidis, N.M. et al. Am. Journal Respir. Cell Mol. Biol.(2003) 4: 458-464). Recombinant Murine TFF-2 is an 11.9 kDa polypeptide of 106 amino acid residues, which includes a 40-amino acid trefoil motif containing three conserved intramolecular disulfide bonds.
