NF-κB (Nuclear Factor kappa B) is a nuclear transcription factor found in all cell types and is involved in cellular responses to stimuli such as stress, cytokines, free radicals, ultraviolet irradiation, and bacterial or viral antigens. NF-κB plays a key role in regulating the immune response to infection. Consistent with this role, incorrect regulation of NF-κB has been linked to cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, septic shock, viral infection and improper immune development. There are five members in the NF-κB family: NF-κB1, NF-κB2, RelA (also named p65), RelB, and c-Rel. The RelB protein is present in the cytosol, bound to p50 or p52 and an inhibitory IκB protein, forming an inactive trimeric complex. Following cell signalling events leading to IκB degradation, Rel/NFκ-B proteins are translocated to the nucleus where they regulate gene expression. The genes controlled by Rel/NF-κB family members are predominantly genes involved in the host response to infection, stress and injury. RelB mediates the regulation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory processes.
