Description
BLNK Antibody (PACO00469)
The BLNK Antibody (PAC00469) is a valuable tool for researchers studying B cell receptor signaling pathways. This polyclonal antibody, generated in rabbits, specifically targets the BLNK protein, which plays a crucial role in the activation of B cells. It is highly reactive with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications.BLNK, also known as B cell linker protein, is essential for transmitting signals from the B cell receptor to downstream signaling molecules, ultimately leading to B cell activation and antibody production.
Dysregulation of BLNK signaling has been linked to various autoimmune diseases and B cell malignancies, making it a key target for therapeutic interventions.By utilizing the BLNK Antibody in their research, scientists can gain insights into the mechanisms underlying B cell activation and differentiation, as well as identify potential targets for novel therapies aimed at modulating immune responses. This antibody is a valuable tool for studies in immunology, oncology, and autoimmune disorders.

| UniProt Protein Function: | BLNK: an adaptor protein that bridges the B-cell receptor-associated kinases (BCR) with a multitude of signaling pathways, regulating biologic outcomes of B-cell function and development. Plays an important role in BCR-mediated PLCG1 activation and Ca(2 ) mobilization. Does not seem to be not required for pre-BCR-mediated activation of MAP kinase and phosphatidyl-inositol 3 (PI3) kinase signaling. Plays a critical role in orchestrating the pro-B cell to pre-B cell transition. Following BCR activation, phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by SYK and LYN. When phosphorylated, serves as a scaffold to assemble downstream targets of antigen activation, including PLCG1, VAV1, GRB2 and NCK1. Its phosphorylation is required for both Ca(2 ) and MAPK signaling pathways. Defects in BLNK are the cause of hypoglobulinemia and absent B-cells.It has tumor supressor activity that is lost in many cases of childhood pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been described; these are differentially involved in activation and apoptosis of B lymphocytes. |

| NCBI Summary: | 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.
