Finding NEMO: genetic disorders of NF-[kappa]B activation

J Clin Invest. 2003 Oct;112(7):983-5. doi: 10.1172/JCI19960.

Abstract

The pathways between a receptor and transcriptional activation mediated by NF-kappaB are complex. The study of human gene mutations that result in dysregulation of these pathways has provided insight into the functions of individual components of the pathway, their interrelations, and the significance of these systems to the organism.
