NIK (NF-kappa-beta-inducing Kinase, HsNIK, FTDCR1B, HS, Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase 14, MAP3K14, Serine/threonine Protein Kinase NIK)

NIK (NF-kB-inducing kinase) is a member of the MAP kinase family that binds TRAF2 and stimulates NF-kB activity. NIK, initially isolated from a human B cell cDNA library, contains 795 amino acids with an apparent molecular weight of slightly more than 97kD on SDS gel. NIK is a serine/threonine kinase and its kinase activity contributes to IkB phosphorylation. The carboxyl terminal segment of NIK binds TRAF2. A mutant NIK with intact carboxyl terminus but without the two lysine residues at its catalytic domain serves as a dominant-negative inhibitor for NF-kB activation. NIK also interacts with TRAF6 and mediates IL-1-induced NF-kB activation.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 1:2000\nImmunoprecipitation: 1:500\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
