anti-IkBalpha Antibody (Clone 6A055)

IkBalpha

IkappaBalpha , MAD3, MAD-3, IKBA, NFKBI, IKB-alpha, I-kappa-B-alpha

NF-kB is silenced in the cytoplasm by an inhibitory protein, IkB. IkB proteins are phosphorylated by IkB kinase complex consisting of at least three proteins, IKK1/α, IKK2/β, and IKK3/g. External stimuli such TNF-α or other cytokines results in phosphorylation and degradation of IkB releasing NF-kB dimers. NF-kB dimer subsequently translocates to the nucleus and activates target genes. Six members of IkB family members have been identified. One of the first gene induced following NF-kB activation is IkBα.

0.25 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.25 mg/ml) immunoaffinity purified mouse monoclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, 0.02% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml) and immunoprecipitation (1-4 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The antibody detects both phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated forms of IkBα.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
