Term Name I-kappaB phosphorylation
Term Accession GO:0007252
Aspect biological_process
Synonyms (4) IkappaB phosphorylation, IKB phosphorylation, inhibitor of kappaB phosphorylation, inhibitor of NF-kappaB phosphorylation
Definition The process of introducing a phosphate group into an inhibitor of kappa B (I-kappaB) protein. Phosphorylation of I-kappaB targets I-kappaB for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, thus releasing bound NF-kappaB dimers, which can translocate to the nucleus to bind DNA and regulate transcription.
