NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene binds to components of NF-kappa-B, trapping the complex in the cytoplasm and preventing it from activating genes in the nucleus. Phosphorylation of the encoded protein targets it for destruction by the ubiquitin pathway, which activates NF-kappa-B by making it available to translocate to the nucleus.

Uniprot Description
IkB-epsilon: Inhibits NF-kappa-B by complexing with and trapping it in the cytoplasm. Inhibits DNA-binding of NF-kappa-B p50-p65 and p50-c-Rel complexes. Interacts with RELA, REL, NFKB1 nuclear factor NF-kappa-B p50 subunit and NFKB2 nuclear factor NF-kappa-B p52 subunit. Highly expressed in spleen, testis and lung, followed by kidney, pancreas, heart, placenta and brain. Also expressed in granulocytes and macrophages. Belongs to the NF-kappa-B inhibitor family.
Protein type: DNA-binding; Inhibitor
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6p21.1
Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol
Molecular Function: protein binding
Biological Process: cytoplasmic sequestering of transcription factor
Product Notes
The NFKBIE nfkbie (Catalog #
AAA7045189) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The NFKBIE Antibody reacts with Human, Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's NFKBIE can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NFKBIE nfkbie 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
"NFKBIE, Polyclonal Antibody" 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.
