  • General notes

    The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.

    One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

Target

  • Function

    Acts as part of the IKK complex in the conventional pathway of NF-kappa-B activation and phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-kappa-B thus leading to the dissociation of the inhibitor/NF-kappa-B complex and ultimately the degradation of the inhibitor. As part of the non-canonical pathway of NF-kappa-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-kappa-B RelB-p52 complexes. Also phosphorylates NCOA3. Phosphorylates 'Ser-10' of histone H3 at NF-kappa-B-regulated promoters during inflammatory responses triggered by cytokines.
  • Tissue specificity

    Widely expressed.
  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in CHUK are the cause of cocoon syndrome (COCOS) [MIM:613630]; also known as fetal encasement syndrome. COCOS is a lethal syndrome characterized by multiple fetal malformations including defective face and seemingly absent limbs, which are bound to the trunk and encased under the skin.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. I-kappa-B kinase subfamily.
    Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylated by MAP3K14/NIK, AKT and to a lesser extent by MEKK1, and dephosphorylated by PP2A. Autophosphorylated.
    Acetylation of Thr-179 by Yersinia yopJ prevents phosphorylation and activation, thus blocking the I-kappa-B signaling pathway.
  • Cellular localization

    Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

    I used this antibody in WB of various human fibroblast cell lines. I detect a single band, but it is at 130kDa, rather than 85 - is this the correct band?

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us regarding ab38515.

    I have received the following additional information from the lab:

    This target containing leucine zipper associates with many proteins. It is posible that theband is dimerization. The leucine zipper is important to allow homo- and hetero-dimerization. Add DTT to lysis buffer as we find this helps.

    I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.

    Question

    Dear Sir,
    I have a query regarding your IKK-alpha antibody (code-ab105923,product name-Anti-IKK alpha antibody [3G12H9])...I want to use this antibody for flow cytometric analysis of phosphorylated IKK-alpha, but do your antibody detect phosphorylated IKK-alpha or only IKK-alpha? becuase I want to study the TLR signalling pathway and for this I want to look at activated (phosphorylated) IIKK alpha enzyme. So can you guide me regarding this...so that I can order this antibody accordingly?

    Waiting for you reply..
    Thank you.

    Asked on Jan 24 2012

    Answer

    Thank you for your enquiry.

    I can confirm that as ab105923IKK alpha antibodyhas not specifically been raised against a phosphorylated residue of the protein, it is therefore likely to detect both phosphorylated and non phosphorylated forms of the protein.

    We do have the following antibodies that detect some of the phosphorylated residues specifically. I can recommend to review the datasheets for further details and to select one tested in the species you wil be using.

    I am sorry that as far as we are aware, these have not been tested and therefore are not guaranteed in flow cytometry.However, if you would like to test these antibodies in flow cystometry, please do not hesitate to contact me again prior to the purchase by replying to this message as you may be eligible for our testing discount program.

    Otherwise, we like to encourage all of our customers to submit an Abreview via the online product datasheet. We always appreciate customer feedback, whether positive or negative, and we make all product information available to researchers.
