The IkappaB-beta (Phospho-Thr19) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect IkB-beta protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated IkB-beta in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on IkB-beta phosphorylation.
Qualitative determination of IkappaB-beta (Phospho-Thr19) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, IkappaB-beta (Phospho-Thr19) is captured by IkappaB-beta (Phospho-Thr19)-specific primary (1ø) antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary (2ø) antibodies bind the Fc region of the 1ø antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the 2ø antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
| 2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

| UniProt Protein Function: | IkB-beta: a protein of the NF-kappa-B inhibitor family. Inhibits NF-kappa-B by complexing with and trapping it in the cytoplasm. However, the unphosphorylated form resynthesized after cell stimulation is able to bind NF-kappa-B allowing its transport to the nucleus and protecting it to further IKBA- dependent inactivation. Association with inhibitor kappa B- interacting Ras-like proteins 1 and 2 may also explain the slower degradation. Interacts with ligand-binding domain of thyroid hormone receptor-beta, inhibitor kappa B-interacting Ras-like protein 1, inhibitor kappa B-interacting protein Ras2, p65 (RELA) and c-Rel. Expressed in all tissues examined. |

| NCBI 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] |
