IKBKB inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase subunit beta

Gene ID: 3551, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IKK2; IKKB; IKK-2; IMD15; IMD15A; IMD15B; NFKBIKB; IKK-beta

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene phosphorylates the inhibitor in the inhibitor/NF-kappa-B complex, causing dissociation of the inhibitor and activation of NF-kappa-B. The encoded protein itself is found in a complex of proteins. Several transcript variants, some protein-coding and some not, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
