Ikbkg Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables K63-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including anoikis; negative regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; and positive regulation of metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within B cell homeostasis; negative regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm. Part of IkappaB kinase complex. Is expressed in early conceptus; genitourinary system; and musculature. Used to study Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome and steatotic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Behcet's disease; Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome; X-linked recessive disease (multiple); learning disability; and liver cancer. Orthologous to human IKBKG (inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase regulatory subunit gamma). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ikbkg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
