IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 2.7.11.10

Names

Accepted name:
IκB kinase
Other names:
CHUK
IKBKA
IKBKB
IKK
IKK-1
IKK-2
inhibitor of NFκB kinase
inhibitor of NF-κB kinase
STK12
TANK-binding kinase 1
TBK1
Systematic name:
ATP:[IκB protein] phosphotransferase

Reaction

Comments:

The enzyme phosphorylates IκB proteins at specific serine residues, which marks them for destruction via the ubiquitination pathway. Subsequent degradation of the IκB complex (IKK) activates NF-κB, a translation factor that plays an important role in inflammation, immunity, cell proliferation and apoptosis. If the serine residues are replaced by threonine residues, the activity of the enzyme is decreased considerably.
