MyBioSource.com's p65 Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, and Western Blot. The p65 Antibody was generated using NFkB, NFKB3, and RELA as the antigen and it reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat.
Description
Transcription factors of the nuclear factor k B (NF-kB)/Rel family play a pivotal role in inflammatory and immune responses (1,2). There are five family members in mammals: RelA, c-Rel, RelB, NF-kB1 (p105/p50), and NF-kB2 (p100/p52). Both p105 and p100 are proteolytically processed by the proteasome to produce p50 and p52, respectively. Rel proteins bind p50 and p52 to form dimeric complexes that bind DNA and regulate transcription. In unstimulated cells, NF-kB is sequestered in the cytoplasm by IkB inhibitory proteins (3-5). NF-kB-activating agents can induce the phosphorylation of IkB proteins, targeting them for rapid degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and releasing NF-kB to enter the nucleus where it regulates gene expression (6-8). NIK and IKKa (IKK1) regulate the phosphorylation and processing of NF-kB2 (p100) to produce p52, which is then translocated to the nucleus (9-11)
