Rabbit anti-Human IKBKG Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9Y6K9

Target Species

Human

Target Name

IKBKG

Target Full Name

NF-kappa-B essential modulator

Target Function

Regulatory subunit of the IKK core complex which phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-kappa-B thus leading to the dissociation of the inhibitor/NF-kappa-B complex and ultimately the degradation of the inhibitor. Its binding to scaffolding polyubiquitin plays a key role in IKK activation by multiple signaling receptor pathways. Can recognize and bind both 'Lys-63'-linked and linear polyubiquitin upon cell stimulation, with a much higher affinity for linear polyubiquitin. Could be implicated in NF-kappa-B-mediated protection from cytokine toxicity. Essential for viral activation of IRF3. Involved in TLR3- and IFIH1-mediated antiviral innate response; this function requires 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination.; (Microbial infection) Also considered to be a mediator for HTLV-1 Tax oncoprotein activation of NF-kappa-B.

Target Involvement

Ectodermal dysplasia, anhidrotic, with immunodeficiency X-linked (EDAID); Ectodermal dysplasia, anhidrotic, with immunodeficiency, osteopetrosis and lymphedema (OLEDAID); Immunodeficiency, NEMO-related, without anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (NEMOID); Immunodeficiency 33 (IMD33); Recurrent isolated invasive pneumococcal disease 2 (IPD2); Incontinentia pigmenti (IP)

Target Background

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. A pseudogene highly similar to this locus is located in an adjacent region of the X chromosome.
