NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha (UniProt: P25963; also known as I-kappa-B-alpha, IkB-alpha, IkappaB alpha, Major histocompatibility complex enhancer-binding protein MAD3) is encoded by the NFKBIA (also known as IKBA, MAD3, NFKBI) gene (Gene ID: 4792) in human. IkB is known to inhibit the activity of dimeric NF-kappa-B/REL complexes by trapping Rel dimers in the cytoplasm through masking of their nuclear localization signals. In most resting cells, NF-kB is sequestered in the cytoplasm in an inactive form associated with IkB, which blocks the ability of NF-kB to translocate to the nucleus. However, following exposure to pro-inflammatory cytokines, UV light, reactive oxygen species, or bacterial and viral toxins, IkB is phosphorylated by IkB kinases (IKK) and is degraded in the proteasomes. This unmasks the nuclear localization signal of NF-kB and allows it to translocate to the nucleus where it binds to NF-kB response elements in target genes and regulates their transcription. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
