* Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.
* Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.
* Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 degree C in the sealed bag provided.
* Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.
* It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.

Background: Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the MAP3K5 gene. This gene is located on chromosome 6 at locus 6q22.33 and the transcribed protein contains 1,374 amino acids with 11 kinase subdomains. The ASK1 (MAPKKK5) protein phosphorylates and activates MKK4 (aliases SERK1, MAPKK4) in vitro, and activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) during transient expression in COS and 293 cells; ASK1 does not activate MAPK/ERK.ASK1 found in the inactive form, bound to reduced thioredoxin.When oxidized by a reactive oxygen species, Trx dissociates from ASK1. The ASK1, which is found as a homo-oligodimer, autophosphorylates and becomes an active MAP kinase kinase kinase.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascades include MAPK or extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), MAPK kinase (MKK or MEK), and MAPK kinase kinase (MAPKKK or MEKK). MAPKK kinase/MEKK phosphorylates and activates its downstream protein kinase, MAPK kinase/MEK, which in turn activates MAPK. The kinases of these signaling cascades are highly conserved, and homologs exist in yeast, Drosophila, and mammalian cells. MAPKKK5 contains 1,374 amino acids with all 11 kinase subdomains. Northern blot analysis shows that MAPKKK5 transcript is abundantly expressed in human heart and pancreas. The MAPKKK5 protein phosphorylates and activates MKK4 (aliases SERK1, MAPKK4) in vitro, and activates c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) during transient expression in COS and 293 cells; MAPKKK5 does not activate MAPK/ERK.

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.

Product Notes
The Human ASK-1 map3k5 (Catalog #AAA9715402) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9715402 ELISA Kit recognizes Human ASK-1. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Apoptosis Signal Regulating Kinase 1 (ASK-1), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
