Phosphorylated iκb α

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

Phosphorylated-IκB-α is a laboratory protein that has been post-translationally modified by the addition of a phosphate group to the IκB-α protein. IκB-α is a regulatory protein that inhibits the activity of the NF-κB transcription factor. Phosphorylation of IκB-α targets it for degradation, allowing NF-κB to become active and translocate to the nucleus.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
