Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-BLK [BLK154/D4]
  • Clone: BLK154/D4
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: WB
  • Description: B lymphoid tyrosine kinase is a member of the src family of proto-oncogenes that are involved in cell proliferation and differentiation1. It is expressed in B cells during all stages of development and has a role in B-cell receptor signaling and B-cell development2,3. BLK also stimulates insulin synthesis and secretion in response to glucose by up regulating pancreatic beta-cell transcription factors.
  • Immunogen: Recombinant protein corresponding to amino acids 53- 224 of human BLK
  • Isotype: IgG1
  • Research area: Apoptosis and autophagy
  • Myeloma used: NS0

  • For Research Use Only
