Product Name :
IKKα polyclonal antibody Background :
The transcription factor NFkB is retained in the cytoplasm in an inactive form by the inhibitory protein IkB. Activation of NFkB requires that IkB be phosphorylated on specific serine residues, which results in targeted degradation of IkB. IkB kinase a (IKKa), previously designated CHUK, interacts with IkB-a and specifically phosphorylates IkB-a on Ser 32 and 36, the sites that trigger its degradation. IKKa appears to be critical for NFkB activation in response to proinflammatory cytokines. Phosphorylation of IkB by IKKa is stimulated by the NFkB inducing kinase (NIK), which itself is a central regulator for NFkB activation in response to TNF and IL-1. The functional IKK complex contains three subunits, IKKa, IKKb and IKKg (also designated NEMO), and each appear to make essential contributions to IkB phosphorylation. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
