Blk

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; peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Predicted to be active in 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 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Blk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
