Summary: Predicted to enable non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including 2-cell stage embryo; central nervous system; ileum; male reproductive gland or organ; and peripheral nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 11 and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human BLK (BLK proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
