IκBα (nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor alpha; NFKBIA) is one member of a family of cellular proteins that function to inhibit the NF-κB transcription factor. IκBα inhibits NF-κB by masking the nuclear localization signals (NLS) of NF-κB proteins and keeping them sequestered in an inactive state in the cytoplasm.^[5] In addition, IκBα blocks the ability of NF-κB transcription factors to bind to DNA, which is required for NF-κB's proper functioning.^[6]

Disease linkage

The gene encoding the IκBα protein is mutated in some Hodgkin's lymphoma cells; such mutations inactivate the IκBα protein, thus causing NF-κB to be chronically active in the lymphoma tumor cells and this activity contributes to the malignant state of these tumor cells.^[7]

IκBα has been shown to interact with:

• BTRC,^[8][9]
• C22orf25,^[10]
• CHUK,^{[11][12][13][14]}
• DYNLL1,^[15]
• G3BP2,^[16]

• P53,^[20]
• RELA,^{[9][11][17][19][21][22][23]}
• RPS6KA1,^[24]
• SUMO4,^[25] and
• Valosin-containing protein.^[26]
