WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freezing and thawing repeatly.

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) is a ubiquitous transcription factor and an essential mediator of gene expression during activation of immune and inflammatory responses.NF-kappaB mediates the expression of a great variety of genes in response to extracellular stimuli.NF-kappaB is associated with IkappaB proteins in the cell cytoplasm, which inhibit NF-kappaB activity.Phosphorylation of I-kappaB by IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex leads to degradation of I-kappaB and activation of NF-kappaB.The IKK complex contains IKKalpha, IKKbeta, and IKKgamma.A novel IKK related kinase was recently identified and designated TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1), NAK (NF-kappaB-activating kinase), and T2K.NAK/TBK1 activates IKKbeta through direct phosphorylation.NAK/TBK1 is activated by growth factors and PMA and mediates IKK and NF-kappaB activation in response to growth factors.NAK/TBK1 functions upstream of NIK and the IKK complex.NAK/TBK1 is also critical in protecting embryonic liver from apoptosis.
