NFKB2 Antibody

Nuclear factor kappa-B subunit 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NFKB2 gene. It is mapped to 10q24.32. This gene encodes a subunit of the transcription factor complex nuclear factor-kappa-B (NFKB). NFKB is activated by a wide variety of stimuli such as cytokines, oxidant-free radicals, inhaled particles, ultraviolet irradiation, and bacterial or viral products. The NFkB complex is expressed in numerous cell types and functions as a central activator of genes involved in inflammation and immune function. The protein encoded by this gene can function as both a transcriptional activator or repressor depending on its dimerization partner.
