CST, 92035V3, FastScan™ Phospho-IkappaB alpha (Ser32/36) ELISA Kit

Protocol
Available protocols: ELISA+
Specificity / Sensitivity
The FastScan™ Phospho-IkappaB alpha (Ser32/36) ELISA Kit detects endogenous levels of IκBα when phosphorylated at Ser32/36, as shown in Figure 1. This kit detects proteins from the indicated species, as determined through in-house testing, but may also detect homologous proteins from other species.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
Background
The NF-κB/Rel transcription factors are present in the cytosol in an inactive state complexed with the inhibitory IκB proteins (1-3). Activation occurs via phosphorylation of IκBα at Ser32 and Ser36 followed by proteasome-mediated degradation that results in the release and nuclear translocation of active NF-κB (3-7). IκBα phosphorylation and resulting Rel-dependent transcription are activated by a highly diverse group of extracellular signals including inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines. Kinases that phosphorylate IκB at these activating sites have been identified (8).
