IκBα is required for full transcriptional induction of some NFκB-regulated genes in response to TNF in MCF-7 cells

Abstract Inflammatory stimuli triggers the degradation of three inhibitory κB (IκB) proteins, allowing for nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) for transcriptional induction of its target genes. Of these three, IκBα is a well-known negative feedback regulator that limits the duration of...
