Mouse Prokineticin-2(PROK2) ELISA kit

1. The study shows that PK2beta ligand, a splice variant of prokineticin 2, is able to modulate and drive signaling through prokineticin receptor 1. PMID: 30253862
2. Prokineticin-2 is upregulated during neuronal injury, and it mediates a compensatory protective response against dopaminergic neuronal degeneration PMID: 27703142
3. mammalian diurnality or nocturnality is likely determined by the differential signaling of prokineticin 2 from the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells onto their retinorecipient brain targets. PMID: 27535380
4. In mouse models, PK2 over-expression aggravated psoriasis while its knock-down inhibited pathological development. The results indicate that PK2 over-production perpetuates psoriatic symptoms by creating PK-2-IL-1 vicious loop. PK2 is a central player in psoriasis and a promising psoriasis-specific target. PMID: 27887936
5. PROK2 plays a role in cerebral amyloidosis and that PROK2 antagonists may represent a new approach for ameliorating the defining pathology of AD. PMID: 26477583
6. Data show that the prokineticins and their receptors PROK2, PKR1 and PKR2 contributes to altered sensitivity in diabetic neuropathy and its inhibition blocked both allodynia and inflammatory events underlying disease. PMID: 26730729
7. These findings suggest that PROK2 plays a crucial role in neuropathic pain and might represent a novel target of treatment for this disease. PMID: 25685780
8. Controlling the activation of the Bv8/prokineticin system reduces neuroinflammation and abolishes thermal and tactile hyperalgesia in neuropathic animals PMID: 24902717
9. PK2 plays an important role in energy intake and expenditure. PMID: 22960406
10. Data suggest that elevated prokineticin 2 levels, as a consequence of gastrointestinal tract inflammation, induce visceral pain via prokineticin receptors. PMID: 22050240
11. Intracerebroventricular administration of PK2 affects regulation of food intake. PMID: 19933997
12. Bv8 and EG-VEGF, along with other factors such as VEGF-A, may maintain the integrity and also regulate proliferation of the blood vessels in the testis PMID: 12604792
13. Light inducibility of PK2 suggests that in addition to its role in clock-driven rhythms of locomotor behaviour, PK2 may also participate in the photic entrainment of circadian locomotor rhythms. PMID: 15762991
14. findings define an essential role for G protein-coupled PK2 signaling in postnatal and adult olfactory bulb neurogenesis PMID: 15976302
15. The depolarizing effect of Prok2 on neurons that express Prok2 receptor may represent a possible mechanism for the regulatory role of Prok2 in circadian rhythms. PMID: 16279936
16. Attenuated circadian rhythms in mice lacking the prokineticin 2 gene. PMID: 17093083
17. Prokineticin 2 as a common functional target gene for different bHLH transcriptional factors in mediating their respective functions. PMID: 17259180
18. Homozygous loss-of-function PROK2 mutations cause both Kallmann syndrome and normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism PMID: 17959774
19. identification of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor as a major positive regulator of Bv8 expression; anti-Bv8 antibodies reduced CD11b+Gr1+ cell mobilization elicited by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor PMID: 18064003
20. verify a role for Bv8 in the mobilization and recruitment of myeloid cells and in the induction of tumor angiogenesis in the early stages of neoplastic progression PMID: 18268320
21. Cardiomyocyte-PKR1 signaling upregulates its own ligand prokineticin-2 that acts as a paracrine factor, triggering epicardial-derived progenitor cell proliferation/differentiation. PMID: 18421008
22. study indicates that PK2 signaling plays a critical role in the stress-related traits in mice, and establish a possible molecular link between circadian rhythms and mood regulation PMID: 18432189
23. Bv8 was elevated in the synovium and bone marrow of CIA mice, suggesting that Bv8 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of arthritis. PMID: 19405944
24. Data show that the inflammation-induced up-regulation of PK2 was significantly less in pkr1 null mice than in WT and pkr2 null mice, demonstrating a role of PKR1 in setting PK2 levels during inflammation. PMID: 19667192
