Midkine (MK) in leukocyte recruitment. Following rolling, neutrophils arrest on the inflamed endothelium and then transmigrate. The conversion from rolling to arrest is regulated by MK binding to LRP-1 and the subsequent conformational change of LFA-1 to its high-affinity state, a step required to allow firm integrin binding to ICAM-1 on the activated endothelium.
