Nf-Kappa-B Essential Modulator (IKBKG) ELISA Kit for Human

This gene encodes the regulatory subunit of the inhibitor of kappaB kinase (IKK) complex, which activates NF-kappaB resulting in activation of genes involved in inflammation, immunity, cell survival, and other pathways. Mutations in this gene result in incontinentia pigmenti, hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and several other types of immunodeficiencies. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene highly similar to this locus is located in an adjacent region of the X chromosome.

IKKG: a regulatory subunit of the IKK-signalosome complex. Interacts preferentially with IKK-beta but also able to interact with IKK-alpha, IKAP, TAX, RIP and MAP3K14/NIK. Defects are the cause of familial incontinentia pigmenti type II (IP2).
