MyBioSource.com's Rabbit Anti-B Cell Linker Protein Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blot. The Rabbit Anti-B Cell Linker Protein Antibody was generated using B cell linker, and BLNK as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
BLNK (B cell linker protein) is an adaptor molecule that plays key roles from B cell activation through B cell antigen receptor (BCR) engagent. BLNK acts on the inferface between BCR-associated Syk and the downstream signaling cascade (1,2). BLNK has multiple SH2 binding motifs (YXXP) at its N-terminus and an SH2 domain at its C-terminus. After BCR ligation, BLNK is phosphorylated by Syk on its multiple YXXP motifs including Tyr72, Tyr84, Tyr96 and Tyr178 (1). The phosphorylation on these motifs provides docking sites for signaling molecules such as Btk, PLCgamma and Vav. They bind to BLNK through their SH2 domains and cooperatively activate downstream signaling (3,4). BLNK can also interact with phosphorylated targets such as HPK1 through its SH2 domain to activate the pathway (5)
