NFKBID


Description

The NFKBID (NFKB inhibitor delta) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.

NFKBID is a protein that inhibits the activity of the transcription factor NF-κB, which is involved in regulating the expression of genes related to immune responses and inflammation. NFKBID is a member of the atypical inhibitors of NF-κB, meaning it acts on NF-κB in the nucleus of the cell rather than in the cytoplasm. NFKBID is a nuclear protein with 327 amino acids. It contains six ankyrin repeats (ANKs), which are characteristic of all IκB proteins. These repeats are surrounded by a nuclear localization signal sequence (NLS) at the N-terminus and a short C-terminus. NFKBID's role in regulating NF-κB activity is important for the body's response to various stimuli, including stress and bacterial or viral antigens.

NFKBID is also known as IkBNS, IkappaBNS, TA-NFKBH.
