IKK alpha Proteins

Protein Information

CHUK (IKK alpha) is a serine/threonine kinase involved in signal transduction and cellular communication. It belongs to the cytokine activated protein complex that is an inhibitor of the NF-kappa B complex. IKK alpha along with IKK beta and a regulatory protein NEMO (IKK gamma) phosphorylates IkB proteins which targets the later for ubiquitin mediated degradation. It is involved with several cellular processes with extensive studies on its role in inflammation and cell survival.
