Type 2 diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance, and b cell function is important for maintaining normal levels of insulin production. The canonical NF-kB signaling pathway has been well studied, but little is known about the noncanonical NF-kB pathway in the context of pancreatic islet dysfunction. In this issue, Malle et al. demonstrate that the noncanonical NF-kB–inducing kinase (NIK) is a negative regulator of b cell function in diet-induced obesity. In the canonical NF-kB pathway, IKK activation leads to IkBa degradation and nuclear translocation of p50. In contrast, in the noncanonical NF-kB pathway, p100 is processed into p52 that complexes with RelB for nuclear localization and transcription regulation. NIK activates p100 processing and is a central regulator of this noncanonical NF-kB pathway.
