Recombinant human ASK1 (649-946) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 cells using an N-terminal GST tag. ASK1, also known as MAPKKK5, activates MKK3, MKK4 (SEK1) and MKK6. Overexpression of ASK1 induces apoptotic cell death.
- Easily Screen and Profile ASK1 Kinase Inhibitors
- Includes kinase, substrate and reaction buffer
- Use with ADP-Glo™ Assay for bioluminescent detection of kinase activity
Recombinant human ASK1 (649-946) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 cells using an N-terminal GST tag. 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. ADP-Glo Kinase Assay is a luminescent kinase assay that measures ADP formed from a kinase reaction; ADP is converted into ATP, which is a substrate in a reaction catalyzed by Ultra-Glo Luciferase that produces light. The luminescent signal positively correlates with ADP amount and kinase activity. The assay is well suited for measuring the effects chemical compounds have on the activity of a broad range of purified kinases, making it ideal for both primary screening as well as kinase selectivity profiling. The ADP-Glo Kinase Assay can be used to monitor the activity of virtually any ADP-generating enzyme (e.g., kinase or ATPase) using up to 1mM ATP.
