B cell linker protein (BLNK), an adapter protein molecule, which plays important roles in B cell antigen receptor (BCR) engagement and B cell activation. Cross-linking of the BCR stimulates various downstream signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Intracellular protein tyrosine kinases such as Syk and Lyn have been implicated in this BCR signal transduction and are thought to play an important role in B cell development. The two forms of BLNK, p68 and p70, arise from alternate splicing of the human BLNK gene transcript. Syk is responsible for the tyrosine phosphorylation of B cell linker protein (BLNK), a member of the SLP-76 family of adapter proteins. Phosphorylation of human BLNK at tyrosines 84, 178, and 189 (Y84, Y178, and Y189) creates docking sites for effector proteins GRB2, Vav, Nck and PLCγ2, which in turn leads to the activation of downstream signaling pathways.
