BLNK

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
BLNK
Name
B cell linker
Synonyms
  • AGM4
  • B cell adaptor containing SH2 domain
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables several functions, including SH2 domain binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and molecular condensate scaffold activity. Involved in B cell receptor signaling pathway and intracellular signal transduction. Located in cytosol; intracellular membrane-bounded organelle; and plasma membrane. Implicated in agammaglobulinemia and agammaglobulinemia 4.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a cytoplasmic linker or adaptor protein that plays a critical role in B cell development. This protein bridges B cell receptor-associated kinase activation with downstream signaling pathways, thereby affecting various biological functions. The phosphorylation of five tyrosine residues is necessary for this protein to nucleate distinct signaling effectors following B cell receptor activation. Mutations in this gene cause hypoglobulinemia and absent B cells, a disease in which the pro- to pre-B-cell transition is developmentally blocked. Deficiency in this protein has also been shown in some cases of pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
