IκBα (nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor alpha; NFKBIA) is one member of a family of cellular proteins that function to inhibit the

nuclear localization signals (NLS) of NF-κB proteins and keeping them sequestered in an inactive state in the cytoplasm.[5] In addition, IκBα blocks the ability of NF-κB transcription factors to bind to DNA, which is required for NF-κB's proper functioning.[6]

Disease linkage

The gene encoding the IκBα protein is mutated in some

Hodgkin's lymphoma cells; such mutations inactivate the IκBα protein, thus causing NF-κB to be chronically active in the lymphoma tumor cells and this activity contributes to the malignant state of these tumor cells.[7]
