Description
Product Characteristics:
Lymphotoxin beta-activated kinase which seems to be exclusively involved in the activation of NF-kappa-B and its transcriptional activity. Promotes proteolytic processing of NFKB2/P1, which leads to activation of NF-kappa-B via the non-canonical pathway. Could act in a receptor-selective manner.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: HS, NIK, HSNIK, FTDCR1B, Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 14, NF-kappa-beta-inducing kinase, Serine/threonine-protein kinase NIK, MAP3K14
Target Information: This gene encodes mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 14, which is a serine/threonine protein-kinase. This kinase binds to TRAF2 and stimulates NF-kappaB activity. It shares sequence similarity with several other MAPKK kinases. It participates in an NF-kappaB-inducing signalling cascade common to receptors of the tumour-necrosis/nerve-growth factor (TNF/NGF) family and to the interleukin-1 type-I receptor.
