The antibody detects endogenous level of total IkB-a protein.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific immunogen. Specificity/Sensitivity IΰB-α (Ab-32/36) antibody detects endogenous levels of total IΰB-α protein.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around AA 30-34, 34-38 (H-D-S-G-L- D-S -M-K) derived from Human IkB-a. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptide and KLH conjugates.

Background
Inhibits the activity of dimeric NF-kappa-B/REL complexes by trapping REL dimers in the cytoplasm through masking of their nuclear localization signals. On cellular stimulation by immune and proinflammatory responses, becomes phosphorylated promoting ubiquitination and degradation, enabling the dimeric RELA to tranlocate to the nucleus and activate transcription.
