Description
Predicted to have growth factor activity. Involved in brain development; neural crest formation; and positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Localizes to extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system; neural keel; neural rod; neural tube; and presumptive neural plate. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain ischemia. Orthologous to human MDK (midkine).
