Recombinant human NIK (325-end) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. NIK is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 14 (MAP3K14), which binds to TRAF2 and stimulates NF-kappaB activity. NIK shares sequence similarity with several other MAPKK kinases and participates in NF-kappaB-inducing signalling cascade common to receptors of the tumour-necrosis/nerve-growth factor (TNF/NGF) family and to the interleukin-1 type-I receptor (1). NIK is expressed in primary human cells and inflamed rheumatoid arthritis tissue and plays a selective role in signaling by the lymphotoxin-beta receptor (2). NIK is a therapeutic target in the immune and bone-destructive components of inflammatory arthritis. Kinase Enzyme System contains: Kinase: NIK, 10ug (Human, recombinant; amino acids 325-end). MW: ~108kDa. Substrate: Native Swine Myelin Basic Protein (MBP). Other: Reaction Buffer, DTT. NIK NCBI Database Entry: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/9020/.
