| Function | Inhibits the activity of dimeric NF-kappa-B/REL complexes by trapping REL dimers in the cytoplasm through masking of their nuclear localization signals. On cellular stimulation by immune and proinflammatory responses, becomes phosphorylated promoting ubiquitination and degradation, enabling the dimeric RELA to translocate to the nucleus and activate transcription. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10097128, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9990853}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm by a nuclear localization signal (NLS) and a CRM1-dependent nuclear export. {ECO:0000250}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in lymph node, thymus followed by liver, brain, muscle, kidney, gastrointestinal and reproductive tract. |
| Top Pathways | Chronic myeloid leukemia, Epstein-Barr virus infection, Small cell lung cancer, B cell receptor signaling pathway, Adipocytokine signaling pathway |
