Anti-IKK alpha/CHUK Antibody Picoband®
Primary Antibody supplied by Boster Bio Read more ›

Product Description
IKKA, also known as conserved helix-loop-helix ubiquitous kinase (CHUK) or IKBKA, is a protein kinase that in humans is encoded by the CHUK gene. It is mapped to 10q24.31. This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. The encoded protein, a component of a cytokine-activated protein complex that is an inhibitor of the essential transcription factor NF-kappa-B complex, phosphorylates sites that trigger the degradation of the inhibitor via the ubiquination pathway, thereby activating the transcription factor. IKKA is part of the IκB kinase complex that plays an important role in regulating the NF-κB transcription factor. However, IKKA also has many additional cellular targets, and is thought to function independently of the NF-κB pathway to regulate epidermal differentiation.
