BLK ( B lymphoid tyrosine kinase), with 505-amino acid protein (about 56 kDa), belongs to the Src non-receptor tyrosine kinases family.Different subcellular localizations of Src-family kinases may be important for the regulation of specific cellular processes such as mitogenesis, cytoskeletal organization, and membrane trafficking.Blk is expressed exclusively by B lymphocytes and it is thought to function in a signal transductory pathway specific to this lineage. B lymphoid expression of an active Blk mutant caused proliferation of B progenitor cells and enhanced responsiveness of these cells to interleukin 7. Thus, sustained activation of Blk induces responses normally associated with the pre-BCR.1) Theresa Tretter, Ashley E. Ross, Dominic I. Dordai. J. Exp. Med., Dec 2003; 198: 1863.
