The antibody detects endogenous level of IkB-b only when phosphorylated at serine 23.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removedby chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pSer23 (L-G-S (p) -L-G) derived from Human IkB-b. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.

Target
NFKBIB
(NF-kappa-B inhibitor beta (NFKBIB))
Alternative Name
IkappaB-beta
Background
Inhibits NF-kappa-B by complexing with and trapping it in the cytoplasm. However, the unphosphorylated form resynthesized after cell stimulation is able to bind NF-kappa-B allowing its transport to the nucleus and protecting it to further IKBA-dependent inactivation. Association with inhibitor kappa B-interacting NKIRAS1 and NKIRAS2 prevent its phosphorylation rendering it more resistant to degradation, explaining its slower degradation.
