#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

NF-κB stimulates expression of several anti-apoptotic proteins, including FLIP, Bcl-XL, A1/Bfl-1, c-IAP, XIAP, TRAF1, and TRAF2.

In resting cells,

NF-κB binds directly to an inhibitor called I-κBα

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

A single molecule of I-κBα binds to N-terminal domains of the p50–p65 subunits, masking their NLS.
