Manufacturer RayBiotech Inc. | Model: TFEH-p65 | Available Worldwide
RayBio® Human NF-?B p65 Transcription Factor Activity Assay. This assay uses a dsDNA coated plate with canonical NF-?B binding sequences to semi-quantitatively detect active NF-?B in lysates or nuclear extracts.
Human NF-KappaB p65 Transcription Factor Activity Assay
Introduction
NF-κB is a transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in a number of physiological cell processes such as growth, apoptosis, and immune response through regulating the expression of a number of cellular genes. The NF-κB family includes five members: cRel, RelB, p65(RelA), p50(p105, precursor of p50), and p52(p100, precursor of p52), which form homo- or heterodimers when in active status. Normally, NF-κB is inactive and retained in the cytoplasm bound to its inhibitory protein IκB. Upon stimulation of various factors such as infection of pathogens including viruses and bacteria or treatment of cytokines such as IL-1 or TNF-a, IκB proteins are phosphorylated, ubiquitinated and finally degraded. Released NF-κB proteins then form homo- or heterodimers, most commonly p50/p65 or p50/p50, which are transported into the nucleus where they bind to specific DNA sequences of targeted genes and activate transcription. NF-κB also induces expression of its own inhibitor, IκBa, which binds to active NF-κB in the nucleus to terminate the induction of gene expression.
