General Information
Term IkappaB kinase complex ID (Ontology) GO:0008385 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A trimeric protein complex that phosphorylates inhibitory-kappaB (I-kappaB) proteins. The complex is composed of two kinase subunits (alpha and beta) and a regulatory gamma subunit (also called NEMO). In a resting state, NF-kappaB dimers are bound to inhibitory IKB proteins, sequestering NF-kappaB in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation of I-kappaB targets I-kappaB for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, thus releasing the NF-kappaB dimers, which can translocate to the nucleus to bind DNA and regulate transcription.[ PubMed:12055104 PubMed:20300203 ]
Also Known As "heterotrimeric IKK complex" ; "IKK complex" ; "trimeric IKK complex"
