IKBKG inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase regulatory subunit gamma

Gene ID: 8517, updated on 5-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IP; IP1; IP2; FIP3; IKKG; IPD2; NEMO; FIP-3; Fip3p; IMD33; SAIDX; AMCBX1; EDAID1; IKKAP1; ZC2HC9; IKK-gamma

Summary

This gene encodes the regulatory subunit of the inhibitor of kappaB kinase (IKK) complex, which activates NF-kappaB resulting in activation of genes involved in inflammation, immunity, cell survival, and other pathways. Mutations in this gene result in incontinentia pigmenti, hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and several other types of immunodeficiencies. A pseudogene highly similar to this locus is located in an adjacent region of the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
