OR10H3 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. The encoded protein, a component of a cytokine-activated protein complex that is an inhibitor of the essential transcription factor NF-kappa-B complex, phosphorylates sites that trigger the degradation of the inhibitor via the ubiquination pathway, thereby activating the transcription factor.

IKKA: a kinase of the IKK family. Phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-kappa-B, leading to their dissociation from NF-kappa-B and ultimately to their degradation. Phosphorylated and activated downstream of growth factor receptors, IL1R, and TNFR by NAK, IRAK and NIK, respectively. Preferentially found as a heterodimer with IKK-beta but also as an homodimer. Directly interacts with IKK-gamma/NEMO and TRPC4AP. Heterodimers form the active complex. The tripartite complex can also bind to MAP3K14/NIK, MEKK1, IKAP and IKB-alpha-p65-p50 complex. Inhibitors are under development to treat arthritis, inflammation, and apoptotic aspects of cancer. Aspirin (sodium salicylate) selectively binds IKK and reduces inflammation. Misexpression and inhibitors show involvement in insulin sensitization in obese rodents. Mutations in IKK-gamma are found in several immune deficiencies: hyper IgM syndrome, incontinentia pigmenti [embryonic lethal in males, defects in skin, hair, teeth in females] and hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia; recurrent infections and defects in teeth, hair, and sweat glands]. Inhibitors: CHS 828, NBD peptide, BMS-345541.
