Gene: BLK
Alternate names for this Gene: MODY11
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a nonreceptor tyrosine-kinase of the src family of proto-oncogenes that are typically involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. The protein has a role in B-cell receptor signaling and B-cell development. The protein also stimulates insulin synthesis and secretion in response to glucose and enhances the expression of several pancreatic beta-cell transcription factors.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 8
Location in Chromosome : 8p23.1
Description of this Gene: BLK proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
