PTN is highly upregulated during embryonic development and early cell differentiation. In adulthood, PTN expression decreases in most tissues except for the bone and the nervous system. It interacts with numerous cell surface proteoglycan and non-proteoglycan receptors, including protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z (PTPRZ), syndecans, nucleolin, neuropilin-1, ALK, and integrin αVβ3 and αMβ2 (reviewed in 7-9). PTN has been associated with biological events that involve cellular proliferation, differentiation, and inflammation, including tissue regeneration, bone repair, hypoxia, tumor growth, and angiogenesis.\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nHARP; HB-GAM; HBBM; HBGF-8; HBGF8; HBNF; HBNF-1; HBNF1; heparin affin regulatory protein; heparin binding growth factor 8; Heparin-binding brain mitogen; Heparin-binding growth factor 8; Heparin-binding growth-associated molecule; heparin-binding neurite outgrowth promoting factor; Heparin-binding neurite outgrowth-promoting factor; Heparin-binding neurite outgrowth-promoting factor 1; NEGF1; neurite growth-promoting factor 1; OSF-1; Osteoblast-specific factor 1; Pleiotrophin; pleiotrophin (heparin binding growth factor 8, neurite growth-promoting factor 1); PTN\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 18\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799814033577,"sku":"54934S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-54934s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
