Background

BLK (B lymphocyte kinase) is a member of the Src non-receptor tyrosine kinase family. It is found primarily in B-cells, where it is involved in cell development and maturation signaling pathways. Overexpression of BLK has been associated with autoimmune disorders and B-cell linked-cancers, such as lymphoma and leukemia. Similarly to other Src kinases, BLK is inhibited by dasatinib, a drug approved under the name SPRYCEL® for the treatment of CML (chronic myeloid leukemia) in adults and children. The development of BLK-specific inhibitors is still an active research area, aiming at finding specific and high affinity inhibitors that can be used in the treatment not only of BLK-related lymphoma and leukemia, but also autoimmune disorders.
