Biochem/physiol Actions

B lymphoid tyrosine kinase (BLK) protein has oncogenic properties. It helps B-cell receptors transmit signals and may be important for B-cell repertoire development and mature B-cell activity. BLK participates in B-cell antigen receptor signaling. The BLK gene polymorphisms are linked to renal dysfunction in people with systemic lupus erythematosus.

General description

B lymphoid tyrosine kinase (BLK) protein belongs to the Src kinase family. It has an Src homology 3 (SH3) and an Src homology 2 (SH2) domain N-terminal to the catalytic kinase domain. The BLK gene is located on human chromosome 8p23.1.

Immunogen

Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of tyrosine 501 (R-Q-Y(p)-E-L) derived from Human BLK.

Physical form

Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.

Specificity

The antibody detects endogenous levels of BLK only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 501.
