NF-kB p65 (RELA) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

CAT#: TA319205

Rabbit polyclonal anti-NFkB p65 antibody

Product Images

Immunochemical's Rabbit anti-p65 NLS was used at a 1:200 dilution to detect p65 in (A) control DU145 cells and (B) TNF stimulated DU145 cells. Although DU145 show relatively high basal levels of nuclear p65 staining, significant enhancement of nuclear staining is seen in panel B as evidence of translocation and availability of the NLS to be bound by the antibody.

• Note: NFkB was originally identified as a factor that binds to the immunoglobulin kappa light chain enhancer in B cells. It was subsequently found in non-B cells in an inactive cytoplasmic form consisting of NFkB bound to IkB. NFkB was originally identified as a heterodimeric DNA binding protein complex consisting of p65 (RelA) and p50 (NFKB1) subunits. Other identified subunits include p52 (NFKB2), c-Rel, and RelB. The p65, cRel, and RelB subunits are responsible for transactivation. The p50 and p52 subunits possess DNA binding activity but limited ability to transactivate. p52 has been reported to form transcriptionally active heterodimers with the NFkB subunit p65, similar to p50/p65 heterodimers. Low levels of p52 and p50 homodimers can also exist in cells. The heterodimers of p52/p65 and p50/p65 are regulated by physical inactivation in the cytoplasm by IkB-a. IkB-a binds to the p65 subunit, preventing nuclear localization and DNA binding. IkB-a binding masks the NFkB nuclear localisation signal (NLS). A broad range of external stimuli lead to activation of NFkB and set off signalling cascades that ultimately converge on the IkB kinase (IKK) complex. Activated IKK specifically and directly phosphorylates IkB-a and this phophorylation event targets IkB-a for degradation. As a consequence, NFkB NLS is uncovered and nuclear translocation occurs.
