NF-Kappa-B Inhibitor Alpha

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha (317 aa, ~36 kDa) is encoded by the human NFKBIA gene. This protein is involved in the cytoplasmic localization of the nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) complex, which inhibits NFkB-mediated gene expression.
