NFκB Gel Shift Oligonucleotides are short sequences of DNA that serve as crucial tools in molecular biology research, specifically in the study of transcription factor binding and gene regulation. These oligonucleotides are designed based on the consensus binding sequence of nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB), a key transcription factor involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses, as well as cell survival and proliferation. NFκB is activated in response to various stimuli, including proinflammatory cytokines, pathogens, and cellular stressors, leading to its translocation into the nucleus and subsequent binding to specific DNA sequences known as κB sites within target gene promoters. By utilizing NFκB Gel Shift Oligonucleotides in gel shift assays, researchers can investigate the binding affinity, specificity, and kinetics of NFκB to κB sites under different experimental conditions. This technique enables the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying NFκB-mediated gene transcription and provides insights into the complex signaling pathways that regulate immune and inflammatory responses, as well as other physiological processes.
