NF-KappaB p65 Transcription Factor Activity Assay (Human) (OKRC01777)

Catalog No: OKRC01777

Size:96 Wells

Transcription factor activity assay of NF-kB p65 from nuclear extracts of HeLa cells or HeLa cells treated with TNF-a. After stimulation with TNF-a, activated NF-kB p65 is translocated into the nucleus where it binds with its corresponding DNA.

Transcription factor activity assay of NF-kB p65 from nuclear extracts of HeLa cells or HeLa cells treated with TNF-a with the specific competitor or non-specific competitor. The result shows specific binding of NF-kB p65 to the NF-kB DNA binding site.

Transcription factor activity assay of NF-kB p65 from nuclear extracts of HeLa cells treated with TNF-a and purified NF-kB p50. No cross-reactivity has been observed between NF-kB p65 and p50.

• Introduction: NF-kB is a transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in a number of physiological cell processes such as growth, apoptosis, and immune response through regulating the expression of a number of cellular genes. The NF-kB family includes five members: cRel, RelB, p65(RelA), p50(p105, precursor of p50), and p52(p100, precursor of p52), which form homo- or heterodimers when in active status. Normally, NF-kB is inactive and retained in the cytoplasm bound to its inhibitory protein IkB. Upon stimulation of various factors such as infection of pathogens including viruses and bacteria or treatment of cytokines such as IL-1 or TNF-a, IkB proteins are phosphorylated, ubiquitinated and finally degraded. Released NF-kB proteins then form homo- or heterodimers, most commonly p50/p65 or p50/p50, which are transported into the nucleus where they bind to specific DNA sequences of targeted genes and activate transcription. NF-kB also induces expression of its own inhibitor, IkBa, which binds to active NF-kB in the nucleus to terminate the induction of gene expression.
