Members
NF-κB family members share structural homology with the retroviral oncoprotein v-Rel, resulting in their classification as NF-κB/Rel proteins.
There are five proteins in the mammalian NF-κB family:
| Class | Protein | Aliases | Gene |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | NF-κB1 | p105 → p50 | NFKB1 |
| NF-κB2 | p100 → p52 | NFKB2 | |
| II | RelA | p65 | RELA |
| RelB | RELB | ||
| c-Rel | REL |

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“I rejoice that horses and steers have to be broken before they can be made the slaves of men, and that men themselves have some wild oats still left to sow before they become submissive members of society. Undoubtedly, all men are not equally fit subjects for civilization; and because the majority, like dogs and sheep, are tame by inherited disposition, this is no reason why the others should have their natures broken that they may be reduced to the same level.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime.”
—Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)
“A family with the wrong members in control—that, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
