NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
gene encodes a 105 kD protein that can be processed to create a 50 kD protein; the larger protein is a Rel protein-specific transcription inhibitor and the smaller protein is a DNA binding subunit of the NF-kappa-B (NFKB) protein complex [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
NFkB-p105: a transcription factor of the nuclear factor-kappaB ( NFkB) group. Undergoes cotranslational processing by the 26S proteasome to produce a 50 kD protein. The 105 kD protein is a Rel protein-specific transcription inhibitor and the 50 kD protein is a DNA binding subunit of NFkB. NFkB is a transcription regulator that is activated by various intra- and extra-cellular stimuli such as cytokines, oxidant-free radicals, ultraviolet irradiation, and bacterial or viral products. Activated NFkB translocates into the nucleus and stimulates the expression of genes involved in a wide variety of biological functions. Inappropriate activation of NFkB has been associated with a number of inflammatory diseases while persistent inhibition of NFkB leads to inappropriate immune cell development or delayed cell growth. There are five NFkB proteins in mammals (RelA/NFkB-p65, RelB, c-Rel, NF-_B1/NFkB-p105, and NF-_B2/NFkB-p100). They form a variety of homodimers and heterodimers, each of which activates its own characteristic set of genes. Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been described.

Product Notes
The NF-Kb nfkb1 (Catalog #AAA668866) is a Cell Line and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's NF-Kb can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Functional Assay. Monitor the NF-kB signaling pathway. Screen for activators or inhibitors of the NF-kB signaling pathway. Culture conditions: Cells should be grown at 37 degree C with 5% CO2 using DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% Pen/Strep, plus 3 ug/ml of Puromycin. It is recommended to quickly thaw the frozen cells upon receipt or from liquid nitrogen in a 37 degree C water-bath, transfer to a tube containing 10 ml of growth medium without Puromycin, spin down cells, resuspend cells in pre-warmed growth medium without Puromycin, transfer resuspended cells to T25 flask and culture in 37 degree C-CO2 incubator. Leave the T25 flask in the incubator for 2~4 days without disturbing or changing the medium until cells completely recover viability and become adherent. Once cells are over 90% adherent, remove growth medium and passage the cells through trypsinization and centrifugation. At first passage, switch to growth medium containing Puromycin. Cells should be split before they reach complete confluence. To passage the cells, detach cells from culture vessel with Trypsin/EDTA, add complete growth medium and transfer to a tube, spin down cells, resuspend cells and seed appropriate aliquots of cells suspension into new culture vessels. Subcultivation ration = 1: 10 to 1: 20 weekly. Functional validation: A. Response of NF-kB Leeporter- HEK293 cells to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). 1. Harvest NF-kB Leeporter- HEK293 cells and seed cells into a white solid-bottom 96-well microplate in 100 ul of growth medium at 5 x 10^4 cells/well. 2. Incubate cells at 37 degree C in a CO2 incubator for overnight. 3. The next day, stimulate cells with different concentrations of PMA. 4. Incubate at 37 degree C in a CO2 incubator for 6-16 hours. 5. Add 30-50 ul of luciferase assay reagent per well. 6. Incubate at room temperature for 1-5 minutes and measure luminescence using a microplate luminometer. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NF-Kb nfkb1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "NF-Kb, Cell Line" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
