核转录因子-κB(nuclear factor-kappa B,NFκ-B)是细胞核内重要的转录调节因子,是细胞存活、细胞周期、细胞黏附和迁移的重要调节者。本文主要介绍了NFκ-B在细胞凋亡中的作用,探讨了细胞凋亡与宰后肌肉嫩化的关系,并展望了NFκ-B参与宰后肌肉嫩化过程的研究前景。
NF-κB,an important factor for the modulation of gene transcription in cell nucleus,has major functions in the modulation of survival,cycle and agglutination of cells.This article reviewed the functions of NF-κB in apoptosis,the relationship between apoptosis and tenderization of postmortem muscles,and the research prospects of NF-κB as a modulator in tenderization of postmortem muscles.
