Blk - BLK proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase

Predicted to enable non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of leukocyte proliferation; and regulation of leukocyte apoptotic process. Predicted to be extrinsic component of cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 11 and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human BLK (BLK proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
