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).

Uniprot Description

ASK1: a MAP kinase kinase kinase of the STE11 family, apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) plays essential roles in stress-induced apoptosis. Activated by various stressors, including oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and calcium overload, as well as by receptor-mediated inflammatory signals, such as the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In turn, ASK1 phosphorylates and activates two different subgroups of MAP kinase kinases, MKK4/SEK1 and MKK3/MKK6, which in turn activate stress-activated protein kinases (JNKs) and p38 subgroups of MAP kinases, respectively. Overexpression activates JNK and p38 and induces apoptosis in several cell types through signals involving the mitochondrial cell death pathway. Embryonic fibroblasts or primary neurons derived from ASK1-/- mice are resistant to stress-induced JNK and p38 activation as well as cell death. Oxidative stress induces the activation of ASK1, which correlate with ASK1 activity and ASK1-dependent apoptosis. Required for the innate immune response, which is essential for host defense against a wide range of pathogens.
