Rabbit anti Human MAPKKK5 (CT)

Rabbit anti Human MAPKKK5 (CT), Polyclonal, IgG

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- -induced apoptosis. ASK1 is expressed in variety of human and mouse tissues.

Positive Control: SW1353 whole cell lysate.

Immunogen: Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1356 to 1375 of human ASK1 protein. Immunogen sequence differs in mouse by last two amino acids.

Purification Method: Antigen Immunoaffiinity Purification.

Formulation: Provided in phosphate buffered saline solution containing 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative.
