IkB alpha Protein, Human (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

IκB α is a key cellular regulator that inhibits NF-κ-B/REL complexes by sequestering them in the cytoplasm, thereby impeding nuclear translocation and transcriptional activation. It masks the nuclear localization signals of RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50. IkB alpha Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived IkB alpha protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of IkB alpha Protein, Human (His) is 316 a.a., with molecular weight of ~38 kDa.

Biological Activity

Description

IκB α is a key cellular regulator that inhibits NF-κ-B/REL complexes by sequestering them in the cytoplasm, thereby impeding nuclear translocation and transcriptional activation. It masks the nuclear localization signals of RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50. IkB alpha Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived IkB alpha protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of IkB alpha Protein, Human (His) is 316 a.a., with molecular weight of ~38 kDa.

Background

IkB alpha, a pivotal regulator in cellular responses, exerts its inhibitory influence by sequestering dimeric NF-kappa-B/REL complexes in the cytoplasm, thereby impeding their nuclear translocation and subsequent activation of transcription. This intricate control involves masking the nuclear localization signals of RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50. Upon cellular stimulation by immune and pro-inflammatory cues, IkB alpha undergoes phosphorylation, triggering ubiquitination and degradation. This orchestrated process liberates the dimeric RELA, allowing its translocation to the nucleus for transcriptional activation. IkB alpha engages in a complex interplay with various proteins, such as RELA, NKIRAS1, NKIRAS2, RWDD3 isoforms, PRMT2, PRKACA, MEFV, and DDRGK1, highlighting its versatile interactions and regulatory roles in diverse cellular pathways.
