Gene information for BLK (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID640
Official gene symbolBLK
Full nameB lymphoid tyrosine kinase
Aliases,MGC10442,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a nonreceptor tyrosine-kinase of the src family of proto-oncogenes that are typically involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. The protein has a role in B-cell receptor signaling and B-cell development. The protein also stimulates insulin synthesis and secretion in response to glucose and enhances the expression of several pancreatic beta-cell transcription factors. [provided by RefSeq]
