Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Specificity
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site. IKKα (phospho-Thr23) antibody detects endogenous levels of IKKα only when phosphorylated at threonine 23.
Purification
Immunoaffinity chromatography.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human IKKalpha around the phosphorylation site of threonine 23 (L-G-TP-G-G).

Nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) is a ubiquitous transcription factor and an essential mediator of gene expression during activation of immune and inflammatory responses. NFkB mediates the expression of a great variety of genes in response to extracellular stimuli including IL1, TNF alpha, and bacterial product LPS. NFkB is associated with IkB proteins in the cell cytoplasm, which inhibit NFkB activity. IKK is a serine protein kinase, and the IKK complex contains alpha and beta subunits (IKK alpha and IKK beta). IKK alpha and IKK beta interact with each other and both are essential for NFkB activation. IKK alpha specifically phosphorylates IkBa. IKKa is expressed in variety of human tissues.Synonyms: CHUK, Conserved helix-loop-helix ubiquitous kinase, I kappa-B kinase alpha, I-kappa-B kinase 1, IKK-A, IKK-alpha, IKK1, IkBKA, IkappaB kinase, Inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit alpha, NFKBIKA, Nuclear factor NF-kappa-B inhibitor kinase alpha, TCF16
