Description

Specificity
Rabbit Anti-Human Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (ASK1) recognizes an epitope near the N-terminus of human and mouse ASK1. This polyclonal antibody was purified using affinity chromatography.
Background
Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades are activated in response to various extracellular stimuli, including cytokines, growth factors and environmental stresses. A novel MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) was recently identified and designated ASK1 (for apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1) and MAPKKK5.1-3 ASK1 activated two different subgroups of MAPKK, MKK4 and MKK6, which in turn activated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinase, respectively. ASK1/MAPKKK5 is activated by TNFR and Fas through the interaction with members of the TRAF family and Fas-associated protein Daxx. Overexpression of ASK1 induced apoptotic cell death, and a catalytically inactive form of ASK1 inhibited TNF-Α-induced apoptosis. ASK1 is expressed in variety of tissues and cell lines.
