Official Full Name: nuclear factor kappa B subunit 2
Also known as: p52; p100; H2TF1; LYT10; CVID10; LYT-10; NF-kB2; p49/p100
This gene encodes a subunit of the transcription factor complex nuclear factor kappa b (NFkB). The NFkB complex is expressed in many cell types and functions as a central activator of genes involved in inflammation and immune function. The protein encoded by this gene can act as a transcriptional activator or repressor, depending on its dimerization partner. The full-length p100 protein is co-translationally processed into the active p52 form. Chromosomal rearrangements and translocations at this locus have been observed in B-cell lymphomas, some of which may lead to the formation of fusion proteins. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 18. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
