IKKb Antibody

IKBKB (Inhibitor of Kappa Light Chain Gene Enhancer in B Cells, Kinase of, Beta), also known as IKKb, NFKBIKB, and IKK2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IKBKB gene. Shindo et al.(1998) mapped the gene to chromosome 8p12-p11 by FISH. Mercurio et al.(1997) found that mutations in IKK2/IKKb had a more pronounced effect upon NFKB activation than did comparable mutations in IKK1/IKKa. Yin et al.(1998) tested the activity of various antiinflammatory agents on the IKK complex. They demonstrated that aspirin and sodium salicylate specifically inhibit IKK beta activity in vitro and in vivo by binding to IKK beta to reduce ATP binding.
