NEMO/IKKγ Protein is a IKK kinase complex. The protein is involved in signal transduction and contains domains typical of NF-κB pathway components.
NEMO (IKKγ) is the regulatory subunit of the IKK complex. It lacks kinase activity but is essential for IKK activation by upstream signals. NEMO contains a coiled-coil domain, a zinc finger domain, and a leucine zipper. It interacts with TAK1, TRAF6, and other signaling molecules to coordinate NF-κB activation.
NEMO mutations cause Incontinentia Pigmenti (females) and immunodeficiency. Hypomorphic mutations cause ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency.
Under investigation. Gene therapy approaches for immunodeficiency.
