The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) family of transcription factors plays an essential role as stressors in the cellular environment

and controls the expression of important regulatory genes such as immunity

inflammation

death

and cell proliferation. NF-kB protein is located in the cytoplasm

and can be activated by various cellular stimuli. There are two pathways for NF-kB activation

as the canonical and non-canonical pathways

which require complex molecular interactions with adapter proteins and phosphorylation and ubiquitinase enzymes. Accordingly

this increases NF-kB translocation in the nucleus and regulates gene expression. In this study

the concepts that emerge in different cellular systems allow the design of NF-kB function in humans. This would not only allow the development for rare diseases associated with NF-kB

but would also be used as a source of useful information to eliminate widespread consequences such as cancer or inflammatory/immune diseases.
