General description

IKKγ has been shown to play a critical role in NF-κB activation, as the regulatory subunit of IκB kinase, which phosphorylates inhibitors of NF-κB leading to their degradation. Upon cell stimulation, IKKγ can be modified by Lys-63-linked or linear polyubiquitination, both of which are suggested to play key roles in cell signalling, including NF-κB activation. One of the E3 ligases responsible for Lys-63-linked IKKγ polyubiquitination is TRAF6, which participates in several signalling pathways controlling immunity, skin development, osteoclast formation and brain functions.
