Description
IKK-gamma (Phospho-Ser85)Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit
The IKK Gamma Phospho-Ser85 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is specifically designed for the accurate detection of IKK Gamma phosphorylation at serine 85 in cell lysates or tissue samples. This kit offers high sensitivity and reproducibility, providing researchers with reliable results for a variety of research applications.IKK Gamma, also known as inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit gamma, is a critical regulator of the NF-kappa B signaling pathway, which plays a key role in inflammation, immune response, and cell survival.
Phosphorylation of IKK Gamma at serine 85 can modulate its activity, leading to downstream effects on gene expression and cellular processes.By accurately measuring IKK Gamma phosphorylation at serine 85, researchers can gain insight into the regulation of the NF-kappa B signaling pathway and its involvement in various disease processes, including inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.

The IKK-gamma (Phospho-Ser85) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect IKK-gamma protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated IKK-gamma in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on IKK-gamma phosphorylation.
Qualitative determination of IKK-gamma (Phospho-Ser85) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, IKK-gamma (Phospho-Ser85) is captured by IKK-gamma (Phospho-Ser85)-specific primary (1ø) antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary (2ø) antibodies bind the Fc region of the 1ø antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the 2ø antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
| 2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

| UniProt Protein Function: | Regulatory subunit of the IKK core complex which 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. Its binding to scaffolding polyubiquitin seems to play a role in IKK activation by multiple signaling receptor pathways. However, the specific type of polyubiquitin recognized upon cell stimulation (either 'Lys-63'-linked or linear polyubiquitin) and its functional importance is reported conflictingly. Also considered to be a mediator for TAX activation of NF-kappa-B. Could be implicated in NF-kappa-B-mediated protection from cytokine toxicity. Essential for viral activation of IRF3. Involved in TLR3- and IFIH1-mediated antiviral innate response; this function requires 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination. |
| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes the regulatory subunit of the inhibitor of kappaB kinase (IKK) complex, which activates NF-kappaB resulting in activation of genes involved in inflammation, immunity, cell survival, and other pathways. Mutations in this gene result in incontinentia pigmenti, hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and several other types of immunodeficiencies. A pseudogene highly similar to this locus is located in an adjacent region of the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016] |
