This antibody detects endogenous level of IKKα, only when phosphorylated at threonine 23.
Purification
Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy using non-phosphopeptide.
Immunogen
IKK a (Phospho-Thr23) antibody was raised against a peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of threonine 23 (L-G-T (p) -G-G) derived from Human IKK α,.
Acts as part of the IKK complex in the conventional pathway of NF-κ,-B activation and phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-κ,-B thus leading to the dissociation of the inhibitor/NF-κ,-B complex and ultimately the degradation of the inhibitor. As part of the non-canonical pathway of NF-κ,-B activation, the MAP3K14-activated CHUK/IKKA homodimer phosphorylates NFKB2/p100 associated with RelB, inducing its proteolytic processing to NFKB2/p52 and the formation of NF-κ,-B RelB-p52 complexes. Also phosphorylates NCOA3. Phosphorylates 'Ser-10' of histone H3 at NF-κ,-B-regulated promoters during inflammatory responses triggered by cytokines.
