NFKBIA NFKB inhibitor alpha

ENSG00000100906 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Inhibits the activity of dimeric NF-kappa-B/REL complexes by trapping REL (RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50) dimers in the cytoplasm by masking their nuclear localization signals (PubMed:1493333, PubMed:36651806, PubMed:7479976). On cellular stimulation by immune and pro-inflammatory responses, becomes phosphorylated promoting ubiquitination and degradation, enabling the dimeric RELA to translocate to the nucleus and activate transcription (PubMed:7479976, PubMed:7628694, PubMed:7796813, PubMed:7878466). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1493333, ECO:0000269|PubMed:36651806, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7479976, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7628694, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7796813, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7878466}.

In 4 of 15 cancers, the evidence for NFKBIA comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.275299996137619 (upper bound 0.4669699966907501). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.
