This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This BLNK antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 150-178 amino acids from the Central region of human BLNK.
BLNK is 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 its 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.
