    Product Information

    Product Description

    The kit provides a means of performing kinase activity assays with recombinant human IKKbeta kinase. It includes active IKKbeta kinase (supplied as a GST fusion protein), a biotinylated peptide substrate and a phospho-serine antibody for detection of the phosphorylated form of the substrate peptide.
    Molecular Formula Peptide substrate, Biotin-peptide: 2,085 Daltons. GST-IKKbeta Kinase: 87 kDa.

    Background

    The NF-κB/Rel transcription factors are present in the cytosol in an inactive state, complexed with the inhibitory IκB proteins (1-3). Most agents that activate NF-κB do so through a common pathway based on phosphorylation-induced, proteasome-mediated degradation of IκB (3-7). The key regulatory step in this pathway involves activation of a high molecular weight IκB kinase (IKK) complex whose catalysis is generally carried out by three tightly associated IKK subunits. IKKα and IKKβ serve as the catalytic subunits of the kinase and IKKγ serves as the regulatory subunit (8,9). Activation of IKK depends upon phosphorylation at Ser177 and Ser181 in the activation loop of IKKβ (Ser176 and Ser180 in IKKα), which causes conformational changes, resulting in kinase activation (10-13).
