Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity was observed in ovarian cancer, several malignant lymphomas and a few cervical and renal cancers. Remaining malignant cells were in general weakly stained or negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NFKBIB (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
IKBB, TRIP9
Description
Nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, beta (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the NF-kappa-B inhibitor family, which inhibit NF-kappa-B by complexing with, and trapping it in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation of serine residues on these proteins by kinases marks them for destruction via the ubiquitination pathway, thereby allowing activation of the NF-kappa-B, which translocates to the nucleus to function as a transcription factor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
