Immunogen: IKK a peptide corresponding to the highly conserved C-terminus region of the human protein conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH).
Physical State: Liquid (sterile filtered)
Purity and Specificity: Anti-IKKα was prepared from monospecific antiserum by delipidation and defibrination. Anti- IKK a may react non-specifically with other proteins. Control peptide (code #100-401-219p) will compete only with the specific reaction of antiserum with the IKK a subunit.
Background: NFkB comprises a family of cellular transcription factors that are involved in the inducible expression of a variety of cellular genes that regulate the inflammatory response and control of cell death. In the cytoplasm NFkB is negatively modulated by the inhibitory proteins IkB. In turn IkB is phosphorylated by a cellular kinase complex called IKK. IKK is a heterodimer composed of two kinases: IKK-a and IKK-b that phosphorylate IkB leading to its degradation and the resulting translocation of NFkB to the nucleus. IKK kinase activity is modulated negatively by pharmaceutical agents such as aspirin and positively by various cellular components such as TNF- a, endotoxins and overexpression of cellular kinases like MEKK1. Aspirin appears to have its effect by inhibiting the binding of ATP to IKK.
Low Endotoxin: No
