Gene ID	N/A
Accession	NM_005923
Alternative Name	MAP3K5; MEKK5; MAPKKK5
Species	Human
Source	Insect cells
Description	ASK1, also known as MAPKKK5, activates MKK3, MKK4 (SEK1), and MKK6. Overexpression of ASK1 induces apoptotic cell death, and ASK1 is activated in cells treated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha . ASK1 interacts with members of the TRAF family and is activated by TRAF2 in the TNF-signaling pathway. After activation by TRAF2, ASK1 activates MKK4, which in turn activates JNK. Thus, ASK1 is a mediator of TRAF2-induced JNK activation .
Accession	NM_005923
Functions	The specific activity of ASK1 was determined to be 97 nmol /min/mg as per activity assay protocol.
