Ikb Alpha, Cleaved Antibody – Mouse Monoclonal

NF-kB is silenced in the cytoplasm by an inhibitory protein, IkB (1). Synthesis of IkBa is autoregulated (2). IkB proteins are phosphorylated by IkB kinase complex consisting of at least three proteins, IKK1/a, IKK2/b, and IKK3/g (3-6). External stimuli such as tumor necrosis factor or other cytokines results in phosphorylation and degradation of IkB releasing NF-kB dimers. NF-kB dimer subsequently translocates to the nucleus and activates target genes. Six members of IkB family members have been identified (1). Recent studies have shown that IkBa can be cleaved by caspases during apoptosis to produce an amino-terminal truncated IkBa (DN-IkBa) (7,8). The DN-IkBa is resistant to degradation in response to inducers of NF-kB and act as dominant inhibitory molecule that suppresses NF-kB activity during apoptosis.

Small volumes of anti-IkB alpha, Cleaved antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
