Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
NF-κB is a transcription factor that is a member of the mammalian NF-κB/Rel family of proteins. Members of this family are involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, immune function, as well as development. In resting cells, IκBα binds to and maintains NF-κB in the cytoplasm by blocking the nuclear localization sequences of NF-κB. In the cellular response to an extracellular signal, IκBα is phosphorylated and subsequently degraded via the ubiquination-proteasome pathway, allowing NF-κB to translocate to the nucleus. Once in the nucleus, NF-κB can induce the transcription of IκBα thereby renewing the cycle so that IκBα can form a complex with NF-κB and maintain it in its cytoplasmic location. IκBα -/- mice show an increased level of NF-κB activity and have been shown to die soon after birth.
The 25/IkBa/MAD-3 monoclonal antibody recognizes human IκBα regardless of phosphorylation status and does not cross-react with mouse IκBα.
