Description…
Pleiotrophin, or PTN, is a secreted growth factor found in osteoblasts and brain tissue. PTN induces neurite outgrowth and is mitogenic for fibroblasts, epithelial, and endothelial cells. It binds anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) which induces MAPK pathway activation, an important step in the anti-apoptotic signaling of PTN and regulation of cell proliferation.
