IKBKAPELP1

IKBKAPELP1, also known as IkappaB Kinase Associated Protein 1, is a protein encoded by the IKBKAPELP1 gene in humans. This gene is located on chromosome 22. The IKBKAPELP1 protein is involved in the regulation of the NF-kappaB signaling pathway, a crucial pathway involved in immune responses, inflammation, and cell survival. Specifically, IKBKAPELP1 is thought to interact with IKK (I-kappaB Kinase) complexes, which are key components of this pathway. While its exact mechanism of action is still being investigated, it appears to play a role in modulating the activity of these complexes. Aberrant NF-kappaB signaling is implicated in various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders, making proteins like IKBKAPELP1 potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Research into IKBKAPELP1 continues to shed light on its specific functions and its contribution to cellular processes and disease pathogenesis.
