ASK1 (Apoptosis Signal-regulating Kinase 1) activates two different subgroups of MAPKK,MKK4 and MKK6,which in turn activate c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP Kinase. ASK1 is activated by TNFR and Fas through the interaction with members of the TRAF Family and the Fas-associated protein Daxx. Overexpression of ASK1 induces apoptosis. However,a catalytically inactive form of ASK1 has been shown to inhibit TNF- induced apoptosis.
应用类型
Western blot analysis (1-4 ug/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The immunoaffinity purified antibody detects the 155 kDa ASK1 protein in human SW1353 cell lysate by immunoblotting.
免疫原
Synthetic peptide corresponding to residue surrounding amino acid 1359 of human ASK1
