Primary Product Type: Cytokines and proteins

Pleiotrophin (PTN) also known as HB-GAM, which is a Growth Factors involves in widely range of biological events such as bone development, neural regeneration, inflammatory response, tissue repair. PTN is 18.9 kDa protein containing 168 residues that expressed in Osteoblast and brain. Besides, PTN has been revealed to suppress the long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampus and plays a critical role in modulating learning-related behavior. On the other hand, PTN also acts as an angiogenic factor that promotes tumor progression by PTN/Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) axis.
