Nfkbia Protein is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
IκB Alpha (NFKBIA or IκBα) is a critical inhibitory protein that sequesters [NF-κB](/entities/nf-kb) transcription factors in the cytoplasm. As the primary inhibitor of NF-κB, IκBα plays a central role in regulating inflammatory responses and cell survival pathways. [@supsup2008]

Overview
NFKBIA Protein is a protein involved in critical biological pathways relevant to neurodegenerative diseases. It plays important roles in neuronal function, cellular signaling, mitochondrial maintenance, or stress response mechanisms that are essential for neuronal health. [@supsup1996]
Dysregulation or mutations in this protein contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and related neurodegenerative disorders through effects on protein function, inflammatory signaling, mitochondrial function, or cell survival pathways. [@supsup2006]
