Midkine-a protein localization in the developing and adult retina of the zebrafish and its function during photoreceptor regeneration.

Midkine is a heparin binding growth factor with important functions in neuronal development and survival, but little is known about its function in the retina. Previous studies show that in the developing zebrafish, Midkine-a (Mdka) regulates cell cycle kinetics in retinal progenitors, and following...
