Gene: NFKBIA
Alternate names for this Gene: EDAID2|IKBA|MAD-3|NFKBI
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the NF-kappa-B inhibitor family, which contain multiple ankrin repeat domains. The encoded protein interacts with REL dimers to inhibit NF-kappa-B/REL complexes which are involved in inflammatory responses. The encoded protein moves between the cytoplasm and the nucleus via a nuclear localization signal and CRM1-mediated nuclear export. Mutations in this gene have been found in ectodermal dysplasia anhidrotic with T-cell immunodeficiency autosomal dominant disease.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 14
Location in Chromosome : 14q13.2
Description of this Gene: NFKB inhibitor alpha
Type of Gene: protein-coding
