IkappaB-beta Antibody – Rabbit

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the NF-kappa-B inhibitor family, which inhibit NF-kappa-B by complexing with, and trapping it in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation of serine residues on these proteins by kinases marks them for destruction via the ubiquitination pathway, thereby allowing activation of the NF-kappa-B, which translocates to the nucleus to function as a transcription factor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

IkB-beta: a protein of the NF-kappa-B inhibitor family. Inhibits NF-kappa-B by complexing with and trapping it in the cytoplasm. However, the unphosphorylated form resynthesized after cell stimulation is able to bind NF-kappa-B allowing its transport to the nucleus and protecting it to further IKBA- dependent inactivation. Association with inhibitor kappa B- interacting Ras-like proteins 1 and 2 may also explain the slower degradation. Interacts with ligand-binding domain of thyroid hormone receptor-beta, inhibitor kappa B-interacting Ras-like protein 1, inhibitor kappa B-interacting protein Ras2, p65 (RELA) and c-Rel. Expressed in all tissues examined.
