MDK (Midkine, MK) is a secreted, heparin-binding growth factor that acts as a homodimer (Iwasaki et al. 1997). Both the full-length and the C-terminal region of MDK can bind the N-terminus of NOTCH2. In the presence of MDK, NICD2 accumulates in the nucleus in a dose-dependent fashion and epithelial-to-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) morphological changes are induced through a mechanism that has not been fully elucidated (Huang et al. 2008, Gungor et al. 2011).
