IKKgamma (DA10-12) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of total IKKgamma protein.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing mice with full length human GST-IKKgamma protein.
Background
The NF-κB/Rel transcription factors are present in the cytosol in an inactive state, complexed with the inhibitory IκB proteins (1-3). Most agents that activate NF-κB do so through a common pathway based on phosphorylation-induced, proteasome-mediated degradation of IκB (3-7). The key regulatory step in this pathway involves activation of a high molecular weight IκB kinase (IKK) complex, whose catalysis is generally carried out by three tightly associated IKK subunits. IKKα and IKKβ serve as the catalytic subunits of the kinase. IKKγ serves as the regulatory subunit (8,9). Activation of IKK depends on phosphorylation; Ser177 and Ser181 in the activation loop of IKKβ (176 and 180 in IKKα) are the specific sites whose phosphorylation causes conformational changes resulting in kinase activation (10-13).
Activation of the NF-kappaB pathway by the T-cell lymphotrophic virus Tax protein or by TNF-alpha treatment leads to IKKbeta-dependent phosphorylation of human IKKgamma, primarily at Ser376 (14). In mice, mutation of the orthologous residue (Ser369) to alanine leads to enhanced IKKgamma-mediated stimlulation of IKKbeta kinase activity (15).
