SummaryMetastatic melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer that is notoriously resistant to current cancer therapies. In human melanoma, nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB) is upregulated, leading to the deregulation of gene transcription. In this review, we discuss (i) the relationship between gene alteration in melanoma and upregulation of NF‐κB, (ii) mechanisms by which activated NF‐κB switch from pro‐apoptotic to anti‐apoptotic functions in melanoma and (iii) autocrine mechanisms that promote constitutive activation of NF‐κB in metastatic melanoma.
