Anti-Ikk Gamma (Clone: ABM15D9)

IKK is a trimeric protein complex consisting of two catalytic subunits, IKKalpha and IKKbeta, and a regulatory subunit, IKKgamma. IKKgamma (also termed NEMO or IKBKG) regulates the kinase activity of IKKalpha/beta. IKKgamma plays a critical role in DNA damaged-induced NF-kappaB signaling in a role independent of its function in the IKK complex. While the biological importance of IKKgamma PTMs (Post-Translational Modifications) has been reported under a variety of stimuli, the detection of PTMs has numerous technical limitations. These limitations include both the transient nature of these modifications, as well as low overall abundance of modified IKKgamma inside the cell. Protein function: Regulatory subunit of the IKK core complex which phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-kappa-B thus leading to the dissociation of the inhibitor/NF-kappa-B complex and ultimately the degradation of the inhibitor. Its binding to scaffolding polyubiquitin seems to play a role in IKK activation by multiple signaling receptor pathways. However, the specific type of polyubiquitin recognized upon cell stimulation (either 'Lys-63'- linked or linear polyubiquitin) and its functional importance is reported conflictingly. Also considered to be a mediator for TAX activation of NF-kappa-B. Could be implicated in NF-kappa-B- mediated protection from cytokine toxicity. Essential for viral activation of IRF3. Involved in TLR3- and IFIH1-mediated antiviral innate response, this function requires 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination. [The UniProt Consortium]
