Biochem/physiol Actions
Nuclear factor NF-κ-B p100 subunit (NFKB2) is at the endpoint of many of signal transduction pathways which are initiated by stimuli such as inflammation, immunity, differentiation, cell growth, tumorigenesis and apoptosis. It forms a homo- or heterodimeric complex with proteins. These complexes bind at κ-B sites in the DNA of their target genes. NFKB2 complexes are present in the cytoplasm in an inactive state bound to the NF-κ-B inhibitors. For the activation of NFKB2, I-κ-B (inhibitor) is phosphorylated by I-κ-B kinases (IKKs) and degraded. Thus the active NF-κ-B complex is free from the inhibitor and can translocate to the nucleus. NFKB2 plays an important role in the cytoplasmic retention of attached NFKB2 proteins by p100 and the generation of p52 by cotranslational processing. It also regulates the circadian clock by repressing the transcriptional activator activity of the complex formed by aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1 (ARNTL) with other proteins.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
Linkage
