Description
Product Characteristics:
Inhibits NF-kappa-B by complexing with and trapping it in the cytoplasm. Inhibits DNA-binding of NF-kappa-B p50-p65 and p50-c-Rel complexes.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: IKBE, NF-kappa-B inhibitor epsilon, NF-kappa-BIE, I-kappa-B-epsilon, IkB-E, IkB-epsilon, IkappaBepsilon, NFKBIE
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene binds to components of NF-kappa-B, trapping the complex in the cytoplasm and preventing it from activating genes in the nucleus. Phosphorylation of the encoded protein targets it for destruction by the ubiquitin pathway, which activates NF-kappa-B by making it available to translocate to the nucleus.
