IKKγ also known as IKKgamma, NEMO, IKBKG plays a pivotal role in the NF-κB signaling pathway, acting as an essential regulatory subunit of the IKK complex, which is crucial for the phosphorylation and degradation of IκB proteins. This process allows the transcription factor NF-κB to translocate to the nucleus and activate genes involved in immune responses, inflammation, and cell survival, making IKKγ a critical target for studying these fundamental biological mechanisms. The functionality of IKKγ is vital for understanding how cells respond to proinflammatory cytokines and stress signals, highlighting its importance in various physiological and pathological contexts.
