ASK1 (MEKK5/MAP3K5) Antibody (S83) [APR06029G] | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Product Category: Polyclonal Antibodies

Host: Rabbit

Species Reactivity: H

Specificity: This ASK1 (MEKK5/MAP3K5) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 61-90 amino acids from human ASK1 (MEKK5/MAP3K5) .

Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasm. Endoplasmic reticulum. Note=Interaction with 14-3-3 proteins alters the distribution of MAP3K5/ASK1 and restricts it to the perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum region

Molecular Weight: 154537

Clone: Polyclonal

Gene Name: MAP3K5

Gene ID: 4217

Function: Serine/threonine kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. Plays an important role in the cascades of cellular responses evoked by changes in the environment. Mediates signaling for determination of cell fate such as differentiation and survival. Plays a crucial role in the apoptosis signal transduction pathway through mitochondria-dependent caspase activation. MAP3K5/ASK1 is required for the innate immune response, which is essential for host defense against a wide range of pathogens. Mediates signal transduction of various stressors like oxidative stress as well as by receptor-mediated inflammatory signals, such as the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) . Once activated, acts as an upstream activator of the MKK/JNK signal transduction cascade and the p38 MAPK signal transduction cascade through the phosphorylation and activation of several MAP kinase kinases like MAP2K4/SEK1, MAP2K3/MKK3, MAP2K6/MKK6 and MAP2K7/MKK7. These MAP2Ks in turn activate p38 MAPKs and c-jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) . Both p38 MAPK and JNKs control the transcription factors activator protein-1 (AP-1) .

Summary: Tissue Location: Abundantly expressed in heart and pancreas.
