About MDK

Cytogenetic location: 11p11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:46,380,784-46,383,837 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 247 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in ovary (RPKM 88.5), endometrium (RPKM 55.5) and 14 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a small family of secreted growth factors that binds heparin and responds to retinoic acid. The encoded protein promotes cell growth, migration, and angiogenesis, in particular during tumorigenesis. This gene has been targeted as a therapeutic for a variety of different disorders. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
