Type:
Expression of genes involved in nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB activation (NF-κB, IKKα) IKKα (IκB kinase alpha) is a critical component of the NF-κB signaling pathway, which plays a significant role in regulating immune responses, inflammation, and cell survival.
The NF-κB pathway, activated by IKKα, can lead to the production of pro-Inhibitors of the NF-κB pathway, including those targeting IKKα, are being investigated for their potential to treat various cancers.inflammatory cytokines that may create a tumor-promoting microenvironment.
