Concentration Definition: by UV absorbance at 280 nm
Immunogen
This purified antibody was prepared from rabbit serum after repeated immunizations with a KLH conjugated peptide corresponding to amino acids 76-87 of human ASK-1 protein.
This phospho specific polyclonal antibody reacts human pS83 ASK1 and shows minimal reactivity by western blot, ELISA and competitive ELISA with non-phosphorylated ASK1. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in RIA, immunohistochemistry and immunoprecipitation. For immunoblotting a 1:1,000 dilution is recommended. A 155 kDa band corresponding to human ASK-1 is detected. Whole cell lysates from SW1353 can be used as a positive control. For ELISA a 1:5,000 to 1:10,000 dilution is recommended. Researchers should determine optimal titers for other applications.

Target
ASK1 (MAP3K5)
(Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase 5 (MAP3K5))
ASK-1 (apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 - also referred to as MEK Kinase-5 or MAPKKK5) is a novel serine/threonine MAP kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) component of the mitogen -activated protein (MAP) cascade that is activated in response to extracellular stimuli by cytokines, growth factors and environmental stresses and other factors. Overexpression of ASK-1 induces apoptotic cell death. ASK-1 is expressed in a variety of human and mouse tissues. The overall amino acid sequence identity between the mouse and human ASK1 is 91.9%. ASK-1 interacts with CDKN1A (also known as p21, WAF1, CIP1). Please refer to the reference list at the end of this document for further information.
