Description

General description

A cell-permeable Antennapedia-NBD (NEMO binding domain) (wild type) fusion peptide that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in mouse model of acute inflammation. NBD is an amino terminal α-helical region of the NEMO (NF-κB essential modifier; IKKγ) associated with a carboxyl-terminal segment of IKKα and IKKβ. This peptide blocks the association of NEMO with the IKK complex and prevents NF-κB activation. NEMO is also reported to suppress the intrinsic basal activity of the IKK complex. Its anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to the inhibition of cytokine-induced NF-κB activation and NF-κB-dependent gene expression. Does neither affect the TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun nor the DNA binding of Oct-1 transcription factor.

A cell-permeable Antennapedia-NBD (wild type) fusion peptide that exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. Acts by inhibiting cytokine-induced NF-κB activation and NF-κB-dependent gene expression. Suggested to block the interaction of NEMO with the IKK (IκB)-kinase complex and thereby prevents NF-κB activation. Does not affect the TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun and DNA binding of the transcription factor Oct-1.
