IKK beta Antibody

IKK beta Antibody: Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is a ubiquitous transcription factor and an essential mediator of gene expression during activation of immune and inflammatory responses. NF-κB mediates the expression of a great variety of genes in response to extracellular stimuli including IL-1, TNFα, and bacteria product LPS. NF-κB is associated with IκB proteins in the cell cytoplasm, which inhibit NF-κB activity. The long-sought IκB kinase (IKK), which phosphorylates IκB, and mediates IκB degradation and NF-κB activation, was recently identified by several laboratories. IKK is a serine protein kinase, and the IKK complex contains alpha and beta subunits (IKKα and IKKβ). IKKα and IKKβ interact with each other and both are essential for NF-κB activation. IKKβ phosphorylates both IκB-alpha and IκB-beta. IKKβ is expressed in variety of human tissues.1) DiDonato JA, Hayakawa M, Rothwarf DM, Zandi E, Karin M.

IKK beta antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human IKK beta (Genbank accession NoO14920), which differs from corresponding murine sequence by one amino acid. The immunogen is located within amino
