    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    NF-κB1 p50 (F8H1O) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of the active form (50 kDa) of human NF-κB1 protein when proteolytically cleaved. This antibody does not recognize the precursor form (120 kDa) of NF-κB1 protein or other isoforms.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly433 of human NF-κB1 p50 protein.

    Background

    Transcription factors of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)/Rel family play a pivotal role in inflammatory and immune responses (1,2). There are five family members in mammals: RelA, c-Rel, RelB, NF-κB1 (p105/p50), and NF-κB2 (p100/p52). Both p105 and p100 are proteolytically processed by the proteasome to produce p50 and p52, respectively. Rel proteins bind p50 and p52 to form dimeric complexes that bind DNA and regulate transcription. In unstimulated cells, NF-κB is sequestered in the cytoplasm by IκB inhibitory proteins (3-5). NF-κB-activating agents can induce the phosphorylation of IκB proteins, targeting them for rapid degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and releasing NF-κB to enter the nucleus where it regulates gene expression (6-8). NIK and IKKα (IKK1) regulate the phosphorylation and processing of NF-κB2 (p100) to produce p52, which translocates to the nucleus (9-11).
    Following IKK-mediated phosphorylation of p105 NF-κB at multiple sites (Ser921, 923, 927, and 932) on its carboxy-terminus, SCF/β-TrCP mediated processing produces the 50 kDa active form p50 (12,13).
