01

Overview

I-kappa B kinase epsilon (IKK-epsilon) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a central role in regulating immune and inflammatory responses, particularly those triggered by viral infections. It activates type I interferon (IFN), NF-kappa-B, and STAT signaling pathways in response to viral infection. It is a potential therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases and cancer.
