IκB kinase β (IKKβ)

Target: IKKβ
Molecular classification: Enzyme, Serine/threonine kinase

Overview

IκB kinase β (IKKβ) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that serves as a critical catalytic subunit of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex. This complex is essential for the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, which regulates immune response, inflammation, cell survival, and proliferation.

Other names: IKK2inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit betaIKKBIKKBetaKINASE BETA
