The ASK1 (Phospho-Ser83) Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect ASK1 protein phosphorylation and expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of phosphorylated ASK1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on ASK1 phosphorylation.

Qualitative determination of ASK1 (Phospho-Ser83) concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, ASK1 (Phospho-Ser83) is captured by ASK1 (Phospho-Ser83)-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:

1. A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values.
2. Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted.

UniProt Protein Function: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.

NCBI Summary: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.
